Show forward names

Open jacodg opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When looking at a flow to try to understand the adapter the forward names can give vital information

Describe the solution you'd like Show the forward names on the arrows

Describe alternatives you've considered From what I remember it might be difficult/impossible to show them so an alternative might be to give the arrows different colors. When the first forward is green and the following forwards are yellow/orange/... (not sure what the right color would be) you can at least tell the difference between success and failure forwards and understand "switch pipes" better. I think I wouldn't use red as the second forward isn't always an error, hence a more neutral color like orange or yellow would be better.

When thinking about the placing algorithm i found I needed to sort the edges(forwards) to have the happiest flow on top

this is the ordering I use: success 1 then 2 {any unknown forward (fe from switch} 3 else 4 equals 5 lessthan 6 greaterthan 7 warnings 8 outputWarnings 9 failure 10 outputFailure 11 antiVirusFailed 12 filenotfound 13 notInRole 14 passwordProtected 15 noConversionForwardName 16 exception 17 parserError 18 outputParserError 19

It might be an idea to group the forwards and given them a color: 1 t/m 7 green (succes) 8 t/m 9 yellow (warning) 10 t/m 16 orange (failure) 17 t/m 19 red (exception)

I hope we can do this together with #222

Maybe this could be made easier if the forwards would have labels. @ibissource/frank-doc
