Modules: Top Panel#

The Top Control Panel of the "Modules" section is a set of tools at the top of the page that provides quick access to display modes, import and export operations, bulk actions, and list settings. The panel allows you to toggle between table and folder views, manage modules in bulk, and maintain an up-to-date list without unnecessary navigation between sections.

Location: The panel is located at the top of the "Modules" page, accessed via the left navigation panel.

Available actions:

  • Toggle the display mode between table and folders
  • Export selected modules to PC or Google Drive
  • Import modules from PC or Google Drive
  • Bulk set tags for selected modules
  • Delete selected modules

Display Mode Switcher#

The Display Mode Switcher is designed to choose a convenient way to view the module list. Two buttons are located at the top of the page: Table and Folders.

Clicking the table button displays all modules as rows with attributes in columns. Clicking the folders button switches the view to a hierarchical structure where modules are grouped by assigned folders.

"Export" Button#

The "Export" button is used to download selected modules as a file for backup or transfer to another device. Before use, you must select one or more modules in the table.

How to export modules:

  1. Select the required modules in the table using the checkboxes.
  2. Click Export.
  3. To save the archive to your computer, select the option to export selected modules, which will open a system folder selection window.
  4. Specify the save folder and confirm the action.

Modules are downloaded to the PC as a ZIP archive containing JSON files, JS files, libraries, and other module files.

To save modules to the cloud, select export to Google Drive from the Export button menu. Google Drive must be previously connected in the application settings.

"Import" Button#

The "Import" button is used to upload modules directly into Afina from a local computer or cloud storage. After a successful import, the module appears as a new row in the table.

How to import modules from PC:

  1. Click Import.
  2. Select the module import option, which will open the system file explorer.
  3. Locate the module file on your disk and confirm the selection.

How to import modules from Google Drive:

  1. Click Import.
  2. Select import modules from Google Drive to open a window with available files in the cloud.
  3. Select the required files or click the button to import all available modules.
  4. Click Import.

Upon completion, a green notification confirming a successful import appears.

YouTube Icon#

The YouTube icon is used to quickly jump to the video guide for the modules section. It is located in the top panel next to the action buttons. Clicking the icon opens the corresponding tutorial video in your browser, which is useful for a quick overview of the functionality.

Additional Actions Menu#

The Additional Actions Menu, in the form of a three-dot icon, provides access to bulk operations. All actions in this menu apply only to modules that were previously selected in the table.

How to perform a bulk action:

  1. Select the required modules in the table using the checkboxes.
  2. Click the additional actions menu icon on the top panel.
  3. To work with tags, select "Set tags for selected modules". In the new window, enter a value in the tags field or choose from the existing list.
  4. Select an action: Add, Replace, Clear, or Delete.
  5. Click Assign to apply or the cancel button to close without changes.

To move modules, select "Pin to folder". In the window that appears, expand the list, choose the desired folder, and click Assign. The modules will then be displayed in the corresponding directory in folder mode.

To delete, select the corresponding item in the menu, review the list of modules in the confirmation window, and click Confirm for permanent deletion.

If no module is selected in the table, the bulk operations in the additional actions menu will remain unavailable.

"Refresh" Icon#

The "Refresh" icon reloads the contents of the module list without changing current display parameters, such as active search, filters, or column settings. This allows you to fetch the actual state of data after external changes in the system.
