Interim enhancements to ResultTable #869

Closed grumpyinca closed 7 months ago

grumpyinca commented 8 months ago

Background

Issue #866 presents a proposal for improvements to ResultTable which would include a summary of validity results from the Alert facility. Such changes would likely require changes to the model and thus be inappropriate to include in the current "patch" release. This issue is a proposal for changes to ResultTable that rely only on the Objective Value and thus are a better match for this release. Thus, the use of the word "interim" in the title.

For reference, after a search returning an infeasible result, the current ResultTable looks like: image

Details

  1. Remove the colon after "Message" and reduced the blank space to the message content.
  2. Add a tooltip to Action with text similar to: "Seek if feasible. Search if not. Same functions as Action menu."
  3. Change the Status tooltip text to something similar to: "Visual summary of feasibility status. Search works to minimize Objective Value. Search stops if Objective Value falls below OBJMIN = {objmin}"
  4. Add a narrow (black?, purple?, crosshatch?) bar to the extreme right of the multi-color feasibility indicator. Associate it with non-finite Objective Values.
  5. Add an icon to the right of the multi-color feasibility indicator. If the objective value is not finite, the icon should be a red-circle-with-white-exclamation-point and the tooltip text should be something similar to: "See Alerts for details. Objective Value = {OBJ}" If the objective value is finite, the icon should be a blue-circle-with-white-i and the tooltip text should be something similar to: "Strictly Feasible. Objective Value = {OBJ}" or "Feasible. Objective Value = {OBJ}" or "Close to Feasible. Objective Value = {OBJ}" or "Not Feasible. Objective Value = {OBJ}"
  6. If Objective Value is not finite, append to the ResultTable message text to include words similar to "INVALID VALUES. See Alerts for details.".
  7. Add "INVALID VALUES" tier to the Feasibility tooltip.
  8. No changes to:
    • the info icon and tooltip that appears adjacent to red NOT FEASIBLE in the feasibility field after a search.
    • the Search / Seek button and its tooltips

See related work accomplished under #871.

The code written to resolve this issue differs from the description above. The biggest differences are in entries 5 and 6. As part of implementing #866, a review should determine if any good ideas have escaped and should be re-introduced in #866.
