Mark columns containing unique information in list views

[Jari Häkkinen]

It would be nice if the web interface could highlight information that is unique, that is information that BASE requires to be unique. A symbol or colour in the list view table headers would be nice.

I made a quick scan to find all those columns. I might have missed some, but here is a list of the columns I found:

Item	Columns (*)
Files	Name
Directories	Name
Reporters	External Id
Users	Login, External Id, System Id
Groups	System Id
Roles	System Id
Plugin types	Interface
Plugin definition	Class
Job agents	External Id
Quota	System Id
Clients	External Id
Help texts	External Id
Platforms	External Id
Platform variants	External Id
Data file types	External Id
Quota type	System Id
Protocol type	System Id
File type	System Id
Mime type	File extension
Software type	System Id
Hardware type	System Id
Extra value type	System Id

(*) All items (including those not listed here) also have the ID column which is unique

Some items (eg, reporters) are also part of many other listings. Those column should of course also be marked.

Implemented support for this and tested with the reporters table. Now it only remains to mark all columns with the appropriate code. It is rather easy. Just add clazz="uniquecol" to the <columndef> tag. To change the appearance of the unique column change the style definition in table.css.
