The Tenth Workflow Enhancements project review meeting was held on July 18, 2025. The meeting was attended by Benjamin Trenkle, Dileep Adari and Christiane Maier-Stadtherr. It focused on the working of the workflow and suggestions from both look and implementation perspective.

What has been done throughout the week

• July 14:

  • Completed previously pending tasks.
  • Enhanced tab navigation logic to improve accessibility across all workflow sections.

• July 15:

  • Fixed several CSS alignment issues and inconsistencies.
  • Adjusted the fitView logic to prevent resetting to 1:1 zoom on each update.

• July 16:

  • Refactored the delete functionality: now uses a function overload to get json response instead of fetching the entire page.
  • Improved validation logic and completed integration of all language strings.

• July 17:

  • Removed a redundant transition button to simplify the UI.
  • Resolved position-setting bugs in the workflow

Planned for Next Week:

• Update the UI to conditionally render buttons based on user permissions.
• Implement drag-to-connect functionality for transitions between workflow stages.
• Ensure all linting issues (ESLint and Stylelint) are resolved continuously.
