Description

New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
Current Limitation

When executing a script, the whole dashboard is blocked by a modal view that shows the script execution progress.

Feature / Enhancement Description

When executing a script, show a dialog that allows to continue to use the dashboard. This could for example be displayed in a side bar like the "Info Panel".

  • A batch of multiple documents should be executed in serial, as is currently the case, e.g. executing a script on 100 documents in class A.
  • Multiple batches should be executed in parallel, e.g. executing a batch of 100 documents in class A and another batch of 100 documents in class B.

Research direction

Start by tracing the dashboard's current script-execution flow and the modal that blocks the interface. The work is done when execution can continue while the dashboard remains usable, documents within each batch still run serially, and separate batches can run in parallel.
