Alerts Page - Improve Cell Value Copy Functionality to Prevent Formatting Issues

Description:

Users experience formatting inconsistencies when copying individual cell values from Alerts page from the console. We recommend implementing a robust cell value copy feature that preserves data integrity without unintended formatting artifacts.

Current Issue:

When copying cell values (such as Incident Numbers) from alerts page, users frequently encounter extra spaces or formatting characters being copied along with the intended value. This requires additional manual cleanup and reduces productivity.

Current Workaround:

Users must navigate to the Raw Data view and manually copy the required field value to avoid formatting issues. This workaround is inefficient and not intuitive for typical user workflows.

Requested Enhancement:

Implement a single-cell copy feature that:

  • As of now if the user use the copy option from the right click actions, it's copying the entire alert information. 
  • Provide option to copy individual cell or entire alert similar to the DASH Event Viewer customization.  
  • Allows users to copy individual cell values directly from table views
  • Strips extraneous whitespace and formatting characters automatically
  • Copies only the clean, intended value to the clipboard
  • Provides a seamless alternative to accessing the Raw Data view

Business Impact:

  • Reduces manual data cleanup steps
  • Improves user productivity and experience
  • Eliminates the need for workarounds

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Single-click or right-click copy option for individual cells
  • Output contains no extra spaces or formatting artifacts
