Common Annotations

Lists issues / ideas that appear in more places than one for easier referencing

1. Schedule Actions Tab needs refactoring - Does not make very well use of all the available page size + charter dialog needs redesign

   
   Schedule Actions Tab

   
   Charter Dialog

   Suggestions

   • Responsive design, display a minimum width*height of 2 charter elements (scheduled actions), scaling up to some appropriate max value, after which elements should overflow vertically
   • Add charter config to either redux persistent store or under the user templates FIREEDGE attribute, for persistent storage and more fine-grained control.

2. OS Booting displaying no content - Should display some placeholder/help message even if no content is to be displayed

   
   OS Booting Tab

3. Lock/Unlock dialog max/min width - Dialog looks a little small, should have a min width + max width set, and instead of scaling it horizontally, we want to list all items vertically, one per row

   
   Lock Dialog Single selected

   
   Lock Dialog Multiple selected

4. Dialog is too wide - Change number of columns depending on viewport width thus reducing blank space

   
   VM Host Deploy dialog

5. Share dialog too wide - should have a max width set + fix text formatting

   
   Share dialog

6. Delete dialog rework - Update text + list which items are being deleted with the possibility to remove/deselect individual items separately inside the dialog - Redesign
   
   Delete dialog templates

   
   Delete dialog

7. Custom Variables - Could do with some sort of helper text potentially

   
   Custom Variables step

8. Clone dialog rework - Too large in single select mode + does not display which templates have been selected for cloning. Should have separate input fields for every template, making it possible to customize each cloning operation's naming. Same idea/concept as in CA.6

Instances

VMs

• Instantiate

  • Selection dialog => CA.4
  • Stepper/Advanced options/Schedule Action => CA.1
  • Stepper/Advanced options/Booting => CA.2

• Manage

  • [Suspend, Stop, Poweroff, Poweroff Hard, Reboot, Reboot Hard, Undeploy, Undeploy Hard] => OK

• Host

  • Deploy => CA.4

  • [Migrate, Migrate Live] => OK

  • [Hold, Release] => Update dialog text depending on VM state

    

  • [Reschedule, Un-Reschedule] => OK

  • Recover => Dialog too big, not making use of the available space. Instead of hiding the operation help text in a bubble next to the input field, list it underneath the operation selector dropdown so it's always visible. Also move the names of the selected VM's from up top, to bottom in a table like view, with the added option to deselect VM's from the operation - Redesign

    

  • Backup => A reset switch does not need a full separate step - Redesign

    

• Ownership

  • [Change Owner, Change Group] => OK

• Lock

  • Lock/Unlock => OK

• Terminate

  • [Terminate, Terminate Hard] => OK
