Delphix self-service user interface

The User Interface is organized within a single web browser page. The screen serves as a data container report and management panel.

The Data Container Report Panel for users consists of two tile buttons. They are summarized below as Timeline and Bookmarks.

Timeline

The Timeline tile allows you to view the timeline associated with a branch. Note that this only shows the timeline for a single branch. The branch timeline is how a user interacts with data in the container to mark, stamp, and perform tasks that occur at various points in time.

Bookmarks

The Data Container Workspace contains all the tools, actions, and view panels needed to begin using Self-Service features. For example, the workspace allows a user to view the history of their data on a branch, and to refresh, reset, and restore that data.

The Data Container View Panel, found on the left-hand side of the screen, is divided into three tabular sections: time, branches, and bookmarks. These tabs allow you to find and select data that you are interested in. Based on user selections made in the view panel, the corresponding branch timeline can change.

  • Reset will reset to the last interesting moment of data time on the current data timeline

  • Stop will stop a data container

  • Start will start a data container

  • Lock will lock a data container for the current user

  • Unlock will unlock a data container.
