Alpha Configuration Queue & Side Panel
Inspect queued house, block and koperskeuzetekeningen jobs, add notes, and audit worker pickup history
Configuration Queue & Side Panel
The Configurations screen (/configurations) is the queue dashboard for everything a worker renders. It has three tabs:
| Tab | What it lists |
|---|---|
| Houses | Per-bouwnummer buyer configurations |
| Blocks | Block-level Revit configurations (one document per block) |
| Koperskeuzetekeningen | Option-sales drawing variants per house |
Selecting any row opens the side panel on the right, which shows the preview, files, status, and (on all three tabs) an editable note and a worker activity timeline.
Workers online
A Workers strip sits at the top of the screen, above the tabs, so you can see the render capacity behind the queue at a glance. It shows a live count of how many workers are online (and how many are offline), followed by one card per worker.
Only the automatic worker daemons that pick up this tenant's queue are shown: the shared, headless render machines. A single user running the in-Revit add-in on their own machine is not listed here, since that's manual, person-triggered work rather than queue capacity.
Each worker card surfaces its specs and current load:
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Status | IDLE, RUNNING, ERROR: or OFFLINE when no heartbeat has arrived for over a minute |
| OS | The worker's operating system |
| CPU | The processor name plus a live utilization bar |
| RAM | Total installed memory plus a live usage bar |
| Revit versions | Which Revit versions are installed on that machine |
| Job / last seen | The job it is currently running (or Idle), and when it last reported in |
Online workers are listed first, and the strip refreshes automatically every 15 seconds, so a worker dropping offline or picking up a job is reflected without reloading the page. If no daemons are connected yet, the strip says so, a quick signal that nothing will be rendered until a worker daemon comes online.
Adding a note
Each job carries a free-text note you can edit directly from the side panel:
- Select a row to open the side panel.
- Type in the Note field.
- Save appears once the text changes: click it to persist. Cancel reverts to the saved value.
- Clearing the field and saving removes the note.
Notes are shared across everyone with access to the configurations screen, so they double as a lightweight handover/annotation between team members.
Worker activity timeline
The Worker activity section is a persistent history of the job's lifecycle. Unlike the live lock (which is cleared the moment a job finishes), these events survive completion so you can audit a finished job later. Each entry shows the timestamp and who triggered it:
| Event | Meaning | Attributed to |
|---|---|---|
| Picked up by worker | A worker locked the job and started rendering | Worker id |
| Finished | The worker completed the job | Worker id |
| Failed | The job failed (the reason is shown) | Worker id |
| Retried | A user re-queued the job | User |
| Skipped | A user cancelled the job (the reason is shown) | User |
This answers, for any job, when it was picked up, which worker picked it up, and how the run ended, even after it has long since completed.
