Hi,
I have added my findings to the wiki and sending it here too. I
especially agree on Monitor/Administer distinction issue.
I will try to go deeper in the app and update list with another issues.
I think we should share this on aeolus-devel so I add it to the
recipients. Hope nobody is against it.
Here is the list (also available at
https://www.aeolusproject.org/redmine/projects/aeolus/wiki/List_of_UI_Annoyances):
* Logs UI needs polishing and figure out proper Logs link placement
(original designs puts the link (icon) between pretty/filter togle
buttons [1]), resolve places where logs sections should be also present
(eg. related only to pool, deployment, instance, user, provider...) see
logs section design: [1]
* Launch from Catalog (dropdown) is not clear what it does (should be
something like Launch NEW DEPLOYMENT from CHOOSE CATALOG)
* Settings tab is kind of empty (is needed?) the first page just points
to another with link
* As Matt pointed out let's make the administer tabs first level and add
Overview tab at the beginning.
* Based on changed top tabs, let's make a dropdown shortcuts for the
folowing tabs if the page under the tab is tabbed (Users, Environments,
Content, providers (make a new provider link) [2], this also brings some
space to utilize changes for better workflows which Brian works on.
Display tabs and subtabs based on permissions of user.
* Breadcrumbs - enable them everywhere, original point - maintain
applied filters (viewstate), use it to help with the navigation (plays
nice with dropdown tabs), we need to figure out proper placement and design
* Notifications, the current placement of notifications is wrong and
doesn't fit the current Header style. UXD Wiki says nothing about
notifications look and placement either [3]
* The Overpass font does not align vertically to it's line height.
