Discuss:

[ ] whether to add metadata to the saved motor positions rather than just names
[x] whether to add delete_saved_motor_positions(uid) functions to motor_position.py, is the beamline db also MongoDB?

Todo list

[x] make readback values and offset values in different columns
[ ] add save plan in the future
[x] Refresh automatically after saving
[x] Add a filter field for dates

Yes, both the motor positions and our scans get saved to the same mongo database, but in different collections.

Now that I think about it, maybe we should scrap the saved motor position collection and just do a bp.count on the motors to save their current positions.

It would mean that saving positions has to happen in a run engine, but it would open up some advantages like API access and being able to export them to a csv, etc.

Thoughts?
