The Action Bar

Every page in the Pilvio.pro portal has an Action Bar — the SubTopbar rendered above the page content that provides context-sensitive actions for the current page.

Where the Action Bar Appears

The Action Bar is present on:

  • List pages (e.g. the Cloudspaces list, Disks list)
  • Details pages (e.g. a specific cloudspace's detail page)

It is the SubTopbar rendered above the page content (not below the breadcrumb). It contains only action buttons (Create, Delete selected, etc.). Search and Refresh are part of the data table's own header/footer, not the action bar.

Action Bar on List Pages

On a list page, the Action Bar typically shows:

  • [+ CREATE RESOURCE] — Opens the creation wizard for that resource type
  • Delete — Removes selected items (after confirmation). The delete button is hidden until you tick the checkbox of one or more rows; on the Cloudspaces list it appears as DELETE SELECTED CLOUDSPACES next to CREATE CLOUDSPACE.

Search and Refresh are not part of the action bar — they live in the data table's own header/footer.

Example: Cloudspaces List

[CREATE CLOUDSPACE]  [DELETE SELECTED CLOUDSPACES]   (the second button appears once a row is ticked)

Action Bar on Details Pages

On a resource details page, the Action Bar provides context-sensitive buttons for that specific resource. Which buttons appear depends on the resource type and your permissions.

Example: Cloudspace Details Page

[DISABLE CLOUDSPACE]  [DELETE CLOUDSPACE]  [CREATE VM]  [MORE]

Once a cloudspace is disabled, its status reads DISABLED and DISABLE CLOUDSPACE is replaced by ENABLE CLOUDSPACE.

The exact buttons differ per resource type. Common actions include:

Button What It Does
Disable Cloudspace Stops all VMs in the cloudspace and prevents new ones from starting
Delete Cloudspace Permanently removes the cloudspace and all its resources
Create VM Opens the VM creation wizard for this cloudspace
More ▾ Dropdown with the cloudspace's further pages: Connected Cloudspaces, Objectspaces, Port forwards, Anti-affinity groups, Network Routes, Nested Cloudspaces, Roles & permissions, Audits and Connected VMs

Action Bar States

Action buttons may be disabled (greyed out) when the action is not applicable to the current resource state. A cloudspace that still contains virtual machines cannot be deleted: the portal answers "In order to delete a CloudSpace it can not contain Machines."

Confirmation Dialogs

Destructive actions such as Delete and Disable require confirmation. A dialog names the action and the resource, for example "Please confirm deleting port forward with id ...". Click Confirm to proceed or Cancel to back out.

Entering a reason is mandatory only for Disable Cloudspace, Enable Cloudspace and Delete Cloudspace: those dialogs say "Enter the reason for your action" and Confirm stays disabled until you type one. Other delete dialogs (virtual machine, disk, port forward, server pool and so on) have no reason field. The delete virtual machine dialog instead offers the Detach disks and Detach vGPU checkboxes.

Virtual machine actions ask for a plain confirmation: Stop ("Are you sure you want to stop vm ?", with a Force stop this vm. checkbox), Start, Pause and Reboot ("Are you sure you want to vm ?"), each with Cancel and Confirm.

Tip

Always check the selected resource and the action name in the confirmation dialog to avoid accidental deletions.
