Indicate Polling Lag on Finished/Running Screen

[Xilorole]

Description

To improve user experience, we need to address the lag in displaying jobs on the finished/running screen. Currently, there is a delay before jobs are displayed due to the polling interval. We propose either initiating polling immediately upon screen load or displaying a "loading..." message until the first polling is complete.

Current Behavior

• There is a noticeable lag before jobs are displayed on the finished/running screen due to the polling interval.

Expected Behavior

• Users should be aware of the initial polling delay and see a "loading..." message until jobs are displayed.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the finished/running screen.
2. Observe the delay before jobs are displayed without any indication of loading.

Proposed Solution

• Implement one of the following approaches:
  • Start polling immediately upon screen load to minimize the delay in displaying jobs.
  • Display a "loading..." message until the first polling is complete to inform users of the delay.

Additional Context

• Improving the indication of the polling delay will enhance the user experience by providing clarity on the status of job loading.

Tasks

• Implement immediate polling upon screen load to minimize job display delay.
• Alternatively, display a "loading..." message until the first polling is complete.
• Test the functionality to ensure the user experience is improved and the delay is clearly communicated.
