Andrew Lim commented on NIFI-3341:
----------------------------------
Some ideas: add a "Learn more" link possibly next to the processor name or at
the end of the current description in the window; hyperlink the processor name.
> In the Add Processor dialog, add a link to the documentation when a processor
> is highlighted

> Key: NIFI-3341
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3341
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core UI
> Reporter: Andrew Lim
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Add processor dialog only shows a processor's general description when it
> is selected/highlighted from the list of processors. If a user wants more
> information about that processor, s/he has to either add the processor to the
> canvas and then select "Usage" from the right-click context menu or open up
> the Help documentation and then find that processor's doc.
> To make this simpler, we should add a link to that processor's documentation
> to the Add Processor dialog. This minimal addition will not take up much
> window real estate, but be very useful to NiFi users, especially those new to
> NiFi.
