The Details Panel as Widget / Flyout + Tracker discussion sync

Feature requests PipelineCommunity

For a more seamless user experience, it would be ideal if the snap-off Details Panel could be launched/opened/integrated within the AYON desktop tools themselves. For instance, if you are not using the tracking aspects of AYON’s web features, and using something like FTrack or Kitsu, accessing the Details Panel would require users to browse inside yet another tracker UI they must be trained on for only a single purpose, with multiple clicks and navigation/search efforts.

Similar implementations can be found in comparable pipeline toolsets, allowing users to see and interact with discussion and direction while they work more readily. I know there are other requests for related work, etc., so there are more improvements for the details panel that would make this a robust tool for artists and managers alike.

Further, in order for the Details Panel to be tracker agnostic, a plugin architecture for syncing would be ideal so that any tracker / sync could be made by studios, which would close the user experience loop when running AYON with a different tracker like Flow, Kitsu, FTrack etc.

    Hello,

    Some updates on this.

    We are already working on a PySide version of the side panel (the web one cannot be used inside of most DCCs due to technical limitations in their web views mostly) which would allow this.

    That being said, we won’t be trying to make the details panel tracker agnostic. The effort needed for that is simply not worth, especially with the trend we see where studios are migrating their production workflows from other trackers to AYON natively more and more.
