Fictiv web app: UI map and browser-automation notes

Retained from an authenticated September 2026 app snapshot; not revalidated in an authenticated session during the 2026-09-30 public-documentation review. Browser URLs below are UI routes, not REST endpoints or a supported API contract. Fictiv ships UI changes often, so treat labels as hints rather than guarantees. If something has moved, use find/read_page with the label text rather than fixed coordinates.

Contents

1. URL routes

2. Global layout

3. New-quote page (process picker + upload)

4. Quote page

5. Part modal (Configuration / Threads / Manufacturability feedback)

6. Checkout page

7. Account, Library, Orders

8. Automation techniques that work (and ones that don't)

1. URL routes

The recorded quote/part IDs were UUIDs. Verify navigation in the current session before relying on these deep links; an HTTP 200 or login redirect does not validate an authenticated route. Re-opening a quote URL throws away unsaved edits in an open part modal, which is a clean way to back out of a half-finished edit.

2. Global layout

• Left nav: Home, Library, My workspace → Quotes, Orders, Team workspaces → (teams), "Create a workspace".

• Top right: "Invite to Fictiv", "Learn about TEAMS", and an avatar menu with My Account, Help & Resources, Log out (shows the signed-in email).

• Home page cards: "Start a new quote", "View your Library", a dedicated account manager card (name, email, phone, "Book a meeting"), an onboarding checklist, and "Helpful resources" (FAQ, capabilities, Materials.AI, Atlas DFM, sample part download, tariff notes).

• Survey and feedback widgets ("How would you rate your experience…") show up in page text. Ignore them.

3. New-quote page: /pages/quotes/upload

Step 1, "Select a process". Pick one of the cards:

• Instant quoting available: CNC Machining, 3D Printing, Urethane Casting, Sheet Metal

• Quote available within 48 hours: Injection Molding, Compression Molding, Die Casting

Each card shows sub-processes, material count and "As fast as N days". The radio inputs have values cnc, 3dp, rtv, sheet, im, cmprmold, diecast.

⚠️ Click the card itself (its title text or body), not the hidden radio input. Clicking the radio by ref left it unchecked and the upload zone stayed greyed out. After a correct click the URL gains ?process=<value> and the right pane turns active.

Step 2, "Upload your files". Drag-and-drop zone, "Select files or folder to upload", and "See all supported file types" (a modal with "Most Processes" and "3D Printing" tabs).

• The upload control is a hidden <input type=file multiple>. Upload by setting files on that input (e.g. the browser tool's file-upload action with the input's ref). Don't click the button, because a native file picker is invisible to you.

• Read the current export-control declaration. The project-submission guide permits EAR99/9E991 self-serve, excludes ITAR, and routes other ECCNs through review; do not generalize old upload-banner wording to every EAR classification.

• "+ New quote from Parts Library" (top right) builds a quote from previously ordered parts.

After an upload the app creates the quote automatically and redirects to /pages/quotes/<id>. The quote is named <lastname>_<MMDDYY>, which you can rename with the pencil icon. A first-time "Upload complete! Next steps…" tour modal may appear. Dismiss it with "No, I've got this".

4. Quote page: /pages/quotes/<quoteId>

Top to bottom:

1. Header: "Save and back", the quote name with a ✏️ rename icon, "Last modified", View activity log (a timestamped list of who configured, classified or created what), Share and Delete.

2. Banner. It changes with the quote's state (the banner field in scripts/quote_state.js):

   • Required: Are these parts for prototype or commercial use? shows two cards, Prototype and Commercial. Pricing and lead times stay hidden until one is chosen.

   • Configure parts to receive lead times means at least one part is unconfigured.

   • Determining available lead times is a transient loading state.

   • Select regional preference is the lead-time picker (below). A small Prototype/Commercial dropdown sits at its top right.

3. Lead-time picker ("Select regional preference"), shown when every part is configured:

   • North America column (with a "USA only" checkbox) and Overseas column.

   • Each column has three radio tiers: Fastest, Standard, Cost-effective. Radio values: domesticFastest, domesticStandard, domesticCostEffective, overseasFastest, overseasStandard, overseasCostEffective.

   • Example seen: USA 4 days $745.84 / 6 days $520.80 / 13 days $259.49, and overseas 8 days $200.01 / 11 days $150.61 / 15 days $136.74, for a one-off anodized 6061 bracket.

   • Choosing a tier opens a confirm dialog: "Are you sure you want to change lead times? … will update the production speeds of all parts…" with Cancel / Continue and a "Don't ask again" checkbox. That is easy to trigger by accident, so read the dialog and press Cancel if it wasn't intended.

   • Prices show $ -- when any part needs a manual quote.

4. Toolbar: "Select files or drag and drop here to upload" (adds parts to this quote), Configure via drawing (enabled once parts are selected), Select all. When rows are checked, it becomes "N selected (clear)", Bulk configure parts, Edit quantity, Move to…, Download, Delete.

5. Parts table (tr.ant-table-row.fileRow). Columns: Name (thumbnail, "Rev N", file name, orange DFM-count badge, "View feedback" link), Configuration (process / material / finish, plus Configure or Edit configuration), Production speed / Production details (e.g. "6 days (USA and Mexico)", "Longest lead-time part (+2 day)"), Quantity (number input, a multi-quantity icon, "3 quantities available"), Price ("$520.80 / $520.80/ea" or "Please request a quote"), Actions (the "…" menu: Move to…, Download, Upload part revision, View revision history, Delete).

6. Summary card (right):

   • Line items: Part production (N parts), Shipping (with a "No tariffs apply" note or tariff info), Tax, Order total, Ship by date, Est. Delivery, Shipping address ("Add shipping address").

   • Buttons change with state:

     • Request quote. Disabled while parts are unconfigured. Enabled when a part needs human quoting. The note reads: "Some of your parts require a human to quote… typically within 2 business hours."

     • Begin checkout. Shown when everything is instantly priced.

     • Download quote (PDF) and Forward to purchaser.

7. Account manager card: name, email, phone, "Book a meeting".

Add shipping address modal:

• Country (United States / Canada only), Name*, Company, Address* (2 lines), City*, State/Province*, ZIP*, Phone*.

• "Set as default shipping address for future orders" (checked by default).

• Buttons: Cancel / Use this shipping address.

Share modal:

• "Share with a team workspace or individual" with Team workspace | Individual tabs.

• Fields: "Create a team workspace", "Add new workspace members" (full email).

• Note: "Access requires a Fictiv account… Invites expire in 5 days".

• "Who has access", Copy invitation link, Add to workspace.

Forward quote details to purchasers modal:

• Email field.

• Checkbox "Join my free Fictiv TEAMS account when sharing…".

• "Include quote PDF with email".

• Copy invitation link / Forward quote.

5. Part modal

Opened by clicking Configure, Edit configuration, the part name or View feedback. It is full-screen, with a 3D viewer on the left (view cube, bounding box like 60.00 x 40.00 x 15.00 mm, "transparent", "reset camera") and a side panel on the right. The header shows "Rev N", the file name, View revision history, plus share, download and close (×) icons.

Tabs: Configuration, Threads (only when holes are detected), Manufacturability feedback (✓ when clean, or a count badge).

5a. Configuration tab (side panel, top to bottom)

• Technical drawing (optional) — "Use a drawing to assist in configuration, add critical requirements, and specify tolerances tighter than our ISO 2768 medium standard". Buttons:

  • Generate a drawing (only after process and material are set)

  • Attach drawing from quote

  • Upload drawing (.pdf)

• Process and material — "Ask Materials.AI" link, Process select (with a "<process> capabilities guide" link), Material select (a searchable, virtualized list grouped by family; a filter icon appears for 3DP technologies), Quantity input plus the multi-quantity icon, and Apply configuration (first time) or Cancel / Save (when editing via "Edit"). Once applied, the section collapses to "CNC · 6061 Aluminum (T6 / T651 / T6511) · Edit · $234.80/ea".

• Finish — defaults to "No finish · As machined - ISO Grade N7: Ra 1.6µm / 63µin".

  • Add finish opens a menu of finishes valid for the material.

  • Picking one opens a small dialog showing lead-time and price impact (e.g. "+ 2 days, $286.00/ea"), a Color select, and Cancel / Add requirement.

  • Added finishes are listed with ✏️ and ×.

• Masking — "Add masking".

• Threaded holes — "N/M threads configured" and Configure holes (jumps to the Threads tab). Shows "None detected" when there are no holes.

• Tolerances — "Standard tolerances · Included" and "Tight tolerances · None detected / N detected" (read from an attached drawing).

• Inspections — "Standard Inspection Report · Included" and "Advanced Inspection Report (CMM, laser or optical) · Add".

• Certificates — "Certificate of Conformity · Add" and "Material Certification · Add".

• A note: "Please chat with us to configure custom requirements… Custom Inspection Reports, First Article Inspection (FAI), or Hardware Installation" with a Contact us link.

• Footer — Quantity, Total price (or "Pending"), and Save and close.

5b. Threads tab

• "Specify threaded features".

• An expert tip: custom or non-standard threads need a drawing.

• One card per detected hole group (A1, A2…) showing Type, Diameter and Hole depth, plus a select of valid standard threads for that modeled diameter, each with a max tap depth. Example for an 8 mm hole: M9x1.25, M9x1.0, 3/8-16, 3/8-18 UNS, 1/8-28, TRAP M10x2. Default is "No threads specified".

• Model holes at the tap-drill or minor diameter. The thread choices depend on the modeled diameter, so a hole modeled at the nominal thread size offers the wrong list.

5c. Manufacturability feedback tab

• Clean part: "✓ Your part is ready to go! Our manufacturing analysis did not find any manufacturing issues with your part."

• Part with warnings: "This part has warnings that may impact the outcome of your part." It lists each item as a Warning card with a title, a truncated description and "Show more". Some items have "DFM views 1 2 3 4" that highlight geometry in the viewer.

• Respond to feedback buttons:

  • Upload revision

  • Chat with us

  • "Learn more about responding to DFM feedback" (https://www.fictiv.com/help/getting-a-quote/how-do-i-view-and-respond-to-dfm-feedback)

• Manual-quote parts: "Please request a quote to receive manufacturability feedback. You will receive a complete Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis from the Fictiv quoting team after you request a quote."

5d. Bulk configure panel

Select rows, then click Bulk configure parts. This opens "Current configuration (N parts)", a table of the selected parts with dimensions in mm and inches. The side panel has Process, Material and Apply configuration, then Finish, Masking, Threaded holes, Inspections and Certificates. The note "Some options cannot be configured for multiple parts at a time" applies (threads, for instance). Close with Close. It pre-fills the last-used process and material.

5e. Materials.AI modal

"Your AI assistant for material selection". It has sample questions, a free-text box and Close. Answers come from an OpenAI-powered assistant and are informational only.

6. Checkout page: /pages/orders/quote/<quoteId>

• Cutoff banner: e.g. "Checkout within 0 minutes to meet our 8PM order cutoff on Monday, Sep 28th. See our holiday schedule." Trust this banner over the help center's "3 pm" statement.

• 1. Where do you want your order to go? A "Ship to" list of saved addresses and Add new address (the same form as above).

• 2. Shipping options. Shows "No shipping options available" until an address exists. Carrier and service options appear afterwards.

• 3. How would you like to pay for your order? Two tabs:

  • Pay with credit card: "Your saved cards" list and Add new card. Add new card opens a modal with Card | Google Pay tabs, Card number, Expiration (MM/YY), Security code (CVC), Country and ZIP, plus "Use this credit card". These fields are Stripe iframes. Fictiv never stores card data itself, and neither should you. See checkout-and-payment.md.

  • Pay with PO: "PO use will require approval from our finance department. Requesting use of PO will create a Teams Account for any future orders…" plus Create and Apply for Payment Terms. Once terms are approved this becomes a PO upload and PO-number entry.

• Import choice: current public guides also document Fictiv DDP versus customer EXW, requiring a customer carrier account for EXW; Canada must use EXW. Confirm this in the rendered checkout (not mapped by the old state helper).

• Summary (right): "Edit quote" link, Part production, Shipping, Tax, Order total, Place order (disabled until address, shipping and payment are set), Download quote, Forward to purchaser, Ship by.

7. Account, Library, Orders

• My Account (/pages/my-account):

  • Personal information: name and phone, each with Edit, plus "Delete this account".

  • Account settings: email (with verification date), password Edit.

  • Financial permissions: "Pay with PO (Purchase Order) · Not enabled · Apply for payment terms" and "Tax-exempt (reseller) · Not enabled · Get Tax-exempt permissions".

  • Payment methods: saved cards, "Add new card", and the note "we use Stripe… Fictiv does not directly process or store your credit card information".

• Library (/library/parts): tabs Parts and Molds. It is empty until the first order ("After placing your first order, your purchased parts will appear here…").

• Orders (/orders): a Search box and "New quote". After ordering, each order has "View order detail" with a stage tracker, tracking number, inspection docs and Reorder. See orders-library-teams.md.

• Quotes list (/pages/quotes): one card per quote showing name, last modified, Workspace ("+ Add Workspace"), status (e.g. "Ready to purchase"), Ship by and Subtotal. Buttons: "New quote from Parts Library" and "New quote".

8. Automation techniques

What works well:

• Read state with scripts/quote_state.js in the javascript tool on the quote or checkout page. It returns a compact line-per-item digest (full object on window.__fictivState) with parts, configs, prices, tiers, summary, button states and open dialogs, which is cheaper and more reliable than screenshots.

• find + ref clicks for buttons, links and tabs. Coordinate clicks are fragile because the viewport can be very wide and panels shift after every save.

• Searchable selects (Process, Material, Color, thread size): click the field, type part of the option text (e.g. 6061, Black, 3D Printing), wait about 1 s, then press Enter. Then confirm the field shows what you wanted. To see all options, open the field and run scripts/list_dropdown_options.js, because the list is virtualized.

• Tool compatibility: use only browser operations supported by the active tool. Names such as javascript_tool, get_page_text and file-input upload are examples from the original host. If arbitrary JS evaluation is unavailable, use semantic text/snapshots and the tool's documented native file-picker flow. Never infer success solely from empty helper output.

• Reading modal text: document.querySelectorAll('.ant-modal-content'). Part-modal content is also in document.body.innerText after the main page text, so slice from a known heading such as "Technical drawing (optional)" or "Process and material".

• "Show more" in DFM cards: clicking them via JS ([...document.querySelectorAll('a,button,span')].filter(e=>e.innerText.trim()==='Show more').forEach(e=>e.click())) expands the full text. Some cards collapse again, so read immediately.

• Waiting: geometry analysis takes about 10–30 s per part ("Analyzing parts (1/2) 62%", "Analyzing geometry…", "Configuring part…"). Poll the page text or quote_state.js → analyzing:false every 5–10 s rather than sleeping blindly.

Pitfalls seen:

• Clicking a process radio by ref doesn't select it. Click the card.

• Pressing Escape and re-selecting inside the part modal sometimes doesn't take. After changing Process, re-read the panel text to confirm, or reload the quote URL to discard.

• Choosing a lead-time radio shows a confirm dialog. Material and process edits in the modal aren't saved until Apply configuration / Save, and the modal isn't persisted until Save and close.

• javascript_tool results over a few KB get truncated. Return compact JSON and slice long text.

• The javascript_tool does not await a bare Promise. Write await (async()=>{...})() for async snippets.

• Some JS return values containing URLs with query strings get blocked by the tool ("[BLOCKED: Cookie/query string data]"). Return location.pathname rather than location.href.

• Deleting quotes or parts is permanent. Don't do it without explicit user approval.
