Task 20: Shot Table View with Task Status Display - Implementation Summary

Overview

Successfully implemented a comprehensive shot table view with task status display, filtering, sorting, and column visibility controls. This feature mirrors the asset table functionality and provides coordinators with a powerful tool to track shot production progress.

Completed Sub-tasks

20.1 Enhanced Backend Shot List Endpoint with Task Status ✅

Backend Changes:

1. Updated Shot Schema (backend/schemas/shot.py):

   • Added TaskStatusInfo class for detailed task information
   • Extended ShotListResponse with:
     • task_status: Dictionary mapping task types to their status
     • task_details: List of detailed task information including task_id and assigned_user_id

2. Enhanced Shots Router (backend/routers/shots.py):

   • Added query parameters to list_shots endpoint:
     • task_status_filter: Filter shots by specific task type and status (format: "task_type:status")
     • sort_by: Sort by any field including task status columns
     • sort_direction: Sort direction (asc/desc)
   • Implemented task status aggregation:
     • Queries all tasks for each shot
     • Builds task_status dictionary with all task types (standard + custom)
     • Initializes missing task types as NOT_STARTED
     • Populates task_details with complete task information
   • Added task status filtering logic
   • Implemented task status sorting with proper status order

3. Testing:

   • Created backend/test_shot_task_status.py to verify endpoint functionality

   • Dropdown menu with checkboxes for each column
   • Separate sections for:
     • Basic columns (Shot Name, Episode, Frame Range, Status, Description)
     • Task status columns (dynamically generated from project task types)
   • Quick actions:
     • "Show All" - Makes all columns visible
     • "Hide All" - Hides all columns except Shot Name (required)
   • Session storage persistence for user preferences
   • Dynamic task type support (works with custom task types)

20.4 Added Task Status Filtering and Sorting ✅

Frontend Changes:

1. New Component (frontend/src/components/shot/ShotTaskStatusFilter.vue):

   • Dropdown filter with task type and status combinations
   • Dynamically generates filter options based on project task types
   • Status options: Not Started, In Progress, Submitted, Approved, Retake
   • Visual task status badges in dropdown
   • Clear filter button when filter is active
   • Emits filter changes to parent component

2. Sorting Implementation:

   • Column headers are clickable to toggle sort
   • Sort indicators show current sort field and direction
   • Supports sorting by:
     • Basic fields (name, status, frame_start, frame_end, etc.)
     • Task status columns (with proper status order)
   • Backend handles sorting for optimal performance

20.5 Integrated Shot Table with Project Shots View ✅

Frontend Changes:

1. Updated ShotBrowser (frontend/src/components/shot/ShotBrowser.vue):

   • Added table view mode toggle (Grid | List | Table)
   • Integrated ShotsTableView component
   • Added ShotTaskStatusFilter for table view
   • Added ShotColumnVisibilityControl for table view
   • Implemented episode loading for episode name display
   • Implemented task type loading (standard + custom)
   • Added state management for:
     • Column visibility with session storage
     • Task status filtering
     • Sort field and direction
   • Added handlers for:
     • Task status filter changes
     • Sort changes
   • Watchers for:
     • Project changes to reload episodes and task types
     • Column visibility changes to persist preferences
   • Default view mode set to 'table' for immediate access

2. Integration Features:

   • Seamless switching between grid, list, and table views
   • Episode filtering works with table view
   • Shot selection opens detail panel (desktop) or sheet (mobile)
   • All CRUD operations work from table view
   • Maintains scroll position when opening/closing detail panel
   • Responsive design adapts to screen size

Technical Implementation Details

Backend Architecture

• Query Optimization: Single query per shot with task aggregation
• Custom Task Type Support: Dynamically includes custom task types in response
• Filtering: Server-side filtering for better performance with large datasets
• Sorting: Server-side sorting with proper status order handling

Frontend Architecture

• Component Reusability: Created shot-specific components following asset table patterns
• State Management: Session storage for user preferences

Data Flow

1. User selects episode in ProjectShotsView
2. ShotBrowser loads shots with task status from backend
3. ShotBrowser loads episodes and task types for display
4. User can filter by task status (triggers backend reload)
5. User can sort by any column (triggers backend reload)
6. User can toggle column visibility (stored in session)
7. User can select shots to view details or perform actions

Key Features
