Browser: Show Product Groups

Open BigRoy opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Story

The Loader in the AYON Qt tools allow products to be grouped into a productGroup. Stored on the product entity as productGroup data or something like that.

Problems

A folder may have many products - some may relate very closely to each other, like AOVs of a RenderLayer or the layers of a USD stage and some are even automatically grouped in the publishing logic.

Aside of that, the user can also define their own grouping (that's shared for everyone, same productGroup data on the product in teh database) by pressing CTRL+G in the tool to set it themselves.

It would be great if this categorization can be shared to the web frontend.

Proposal

Group accordingly by default in the web view.

This could technically be 'custom grouping' (on any column or data) but defaulting to grouping by `"productGroup" data.

TODO

  • [ ] Group by product group of product
  • [ ] Allow option to enable/disable the grouping?

Attachments

Note the "enable grouping" toggle top right - it's enabled by default.

Should be part of https://github.com/ynput/ayon-frontend/issues/719 epic

Any reason this is not planned? Product groups are used a lot in the desktop tooling. Just having a 'group by' option in the browser with Product Group being a column would potentially suffice for most of it?

More that it will be addressed in Browser redesign. Probably have kept it open but wanted to clean up a bit.
