Manage Contexts

List contexts

Navigate to Contexts in the Shield360 sidebar to see every context you’ve created. The table shows:

• Name
• Description - or - if none was set
• Status - an Active or Inactive badge
• Created By
• Created At
• Actions - a delete (trash) icon

Clicking anywhere on a row opens that context’s detail page. The delete icon is the only row action - there’s no shortcut on the list page to create a rule from a context row.

Create a context

1. From the list page, open the create page at /context/new.
2. Enter a Name (required, placeholder “My Context”).
3. Optionally enter a Description (placeholder “Optional description”).
4. Write your Content in the markdown editor:
   • The Write tab is a plain textarea with the hint “Write your context content here. Markdown is supported.”
   • The Preview tab renders your content as Markdown, or shows “Nothing to preview yet.” if the content is empty.
5. Set Status to Active or Inactive (defaults to Active).
6. Add Tags by typing and pressing Enter (placeholder “Add a tag, press Enter”).
7. Add Meta Properties as key-value pairs using the “Add property” button.
8. Click Save Context.

If Name is empty, you’ll see “Context name is required!”. If Content is empty, you’ll see “Context content is required!”. While saving, a “Creating context…” toast appears, followed by “Created context successfully!” on success, and you’re taken to the new context’s detail page.

View and edit a context

The detail page (/context/[id]) shows the context’s name, a Status badge, and “Created By {name} · {date}”.

Outside edit mode:

• Content renders read-only as Markdown, or shows “No content yet. Click Edit to add content.” if empty.
• Tags and Meta Properties show “None” if empty.

Click Edit to switch the whole card into edit mode. Name, Description, Content (with its Write/Preview tabs), Status, Tags, and Meta Properties all become editable in place. From here you can:

• Click Cancel to discard your changes and return to the read-only view.
• Click Save to apply your changes. A “Updated context successfully!” toast confirms the update.

There is no separate edit page or URL - editing always happens inline on the detail page.

Delete a context

Deleting a context is only available from the list page - there is no delete control on the detail page.

1. On the Contexts list page, click the delete (trash) icon on the row for the context you want to remove.
2. Confirm the prompt: “Are you sure you want to delete this context? Deleting context might break applications using it. Please confirm before deleting it.”

This action is permanent.
