Component communication

AA propagation

There is no additional communication between the front-end and the auth (AA) services after login. So, changes in the information made via the AA interfaces, e.g. user preferences, will not get propagated back to the front-end until the user logs out and logs back in again; why or when this is required may not be obvious, and it is inconvenient at any rate. Better coupling between the AA services and the front-end would remove this confusion and remove the necessity for logging out and in to refresh information.

State communication

Communicating the state within the UI is not done across webpages. State is held inside a given webpage, but users can have multiple copies (e.g. search uses localStorage). Need a mechanism for all views to discover changes in shared state.

Dashboard

Dashboard performance

Loading is slow due to need to get information from multiple services. The rendering itself is fast enough

Dashboard personalization or extension

This is currently not possible by ordinary users. Note: it’s not clear that this capability is important to users.
