Database navigation in admin UI
 
openBIS version 20.10.5 provides a new database navigation in the admin
UI, as shown below.
 

This allows to navigate the openBIS hierarchy of Spaces, Projects,
Experiments/Collections, Objects, Datasets.
The same navigation menu will be used in the ELN UI in an upcoming
openBIS version.
 

Features
 

Filter
It is possible to filter the menu by code or name of the desired entity.
 

Navigation
To navigate the menu, the nodes have to be opened individually.
When you select an entry in the node, the corresponding entry page
opens. Please note that at this stage, this is only intended as a
preview for the navigation menu and the forms show the information  of
the entity in json format.
If you open several entry pages and you switch between them, by default
the navigation menu will scroll up or down to the corresponding entry in
the menu. If you do not want to have this behaviour, you can turn off
the scrolling by selecting the button on the top right corner of the
menu, as show in the picture below.
 

Sorting
Each level of the hierarchy except for Spaces (Projects, Collections,
Objects, Datasets) can be sorted separately, using the buttons shown in
the pictures below.
By default, the sorting is done by Code in alphabetical order. Other
options are: sorting by code in reverse alphabetical order; sorting by
ascending date; sorting by descending date.
