1.5 Web Interface Components

• Allow key stakeholders to view statistics by project, wave, and batch.

• Workload Status shows the total number of workloads and their current status as imported, defining, submitted, in progress, completed, and warning. Each category provides a link to a list of workloads in that category.

• Workload Breakdown shows core statistics by the transformation method and operating system.

• Create projects for one or more organizations.

• Plan large-scale transformation projects in manageable chunks by grouping the workload transformations in waves and batches.

• Set the start and end dates for projects, waves, and batches. Child objects automatically inherit dates from their parents. You can also set dates manually.

• Bulk import the source workload information for your project.

• Assign workloads to batches through individual or bulk edits.

• Define custom workload components to use for each project, such as applications, custom fields, disks, and NICs.

• Define the appropriate transformation configuration for each workload.

• Use powerful forms for advanced search and bulk edit to achieve fast and efficient workload manipulations of multiple workloads at a time.

• Migration Specialists use the workload information to execute their assigned workload transformations and to set the workflow status.

• Custom fields allow you to add project-specific details to all workloads, such as budget IDs, contact information, and tags to track logical or business associations among workloads.

• Global project selector allows you to automatically filter lists to a specific project. When it is enabled, the project’s custom fields appear in the Advanced Search form and Bulk Edit form.
