An autocomplete list of blueprints lets a user find a specific blueprint and trigger a deployments list query. Upon selecting a blueprint item, a query is triggered to find associated deployments for the selected blueprint. Similarly upon selecting a specific deployment entity, any matching execution workflows are queried and displayed in the executions data grid. By default the user dashboard shows currently active executions that are happening in Cloudify.
