Background

Currently, the only way to update fragments in uPortal4 is by editing *.fragment-definition.xml files in the source and running a data import ant target. A graphical interface can make the process faster, easier, and reduce errors.

A UI that can accommodate every possible fragment configuration may not be feasible. Therefore, the goal of the design should be to make most of configurations easy to implement and leave special cases to the current data import process.

Design

The proposed design consists of three screens: the list of fragments, and edit screen, and a create screen.

The list screen, called the Fragment Registry, lists all existing fragments and allows their order of precedence to be changed via drag and drop.

The edit and create screens (essentially the same) allows an administrator to give the fragment a name, set the Owner ID, and specify an audience. The audience is defined by setting an audience type and optionally — in the case of "by group" and "by username" — adding a hierarchical set of rules. ("By profile" may also accept rules, but I don't know what they could be at this time.)
