Description

As per the discussion which came up in pvillard - Apache NiFi Monitoring Stream
 
Improve Usability of NiFi Data Provenance Grid

1. Indexed attributes (i.e. nifi.provenance.repository.indexed.attributes) should be in the provenance grid and configurable so user can select which indexed attributes to display on the grid and also which ones to omit (if needed).
2. Allow filtering of values directly from the grid UI. Slack Grid provides a header row to achieve this which can be incorporated in existing NiFi Provenance Grid. See: https://mleibman.github.io/SlickGrid/examples/example-header-row.html
3. Shortcuts to view both the Flow File Content (Input and Output Claim) directly from grid. Columns with a provided icon can save a few clicks when viewing flow file content.
4. Give button/shortcut to auto resize column and reshuffle column order. It may be possible to accomplish this by leveraging the idenxed.attributes to reshuffle column order.
