Custom Rule Wizard and Export Functionality #257
Description
- Summary
Implement a user-friendly Rule Wizard within the MTA (Migration Toolkit for Applications) interface. This feature will allow users to create, manage, and export custom analysis rules without requiring manual YAML authoring.
-
User Perspective
As a user, I want an intuitive UI guided process to create analysis rules, so that I can define custom migration logic quickly and without syntax errors. Additionally, I want to export these rules as YAML files for version control and sharing. -
Proposed Changes
A. Rule Creation Wizard
Navigation: Add a "Create Custom Rule" entry point within the MTA Rules management section.
Guided Workflow: A multi-step form (Wizard) to capture:
General Info: Name, ID, Category, and Severity.
Conditions: Logic builders (e.g., when clauses: presence of a specific library, file patterns, etc).
Actions: Define what happens when a rule matches (e.g., display a message, provide a link, or suggest a replacement).
Persistence: Ability to save the rule directly to the MTA internal storage/database.
B. Export Capability
YAML Generation: Implement a service to convert UI-inputted data into valid MTA-compliant YAML format.
Bulk Actions: Allow users to select multiple rules and download them as a single .yaml file.
- Acceptance Criteria
Accessibility: The Wizard page is reachable via the main navigation menu.
Validation: The UI prevents saving a rule if mandatory fields (ID, Condition) are missing.
Success Feedback: User receives a notification when a rule is successfully saved.
Export Integrity: The exported YAML file must be valid and ready to be re-imported or used in the MTA CLI.
- Value to Business
Lower Barrier to Entry: Reduces the need for deep knowledge of YAML schema.
Efficiency: Accelerates the customization of migration assessments.
Portability: Simplifies the distribution of custom rules across different environments.
