I= n an i=3D nitial analysis, in my opinion I would discard the "Alternate Concept = =3D 3", because it goes against the heuristic number #6 of Nielsen (recogn= =3D ition rather than recall), it soon becomes difficult for the user remember where are the options.

A= lso di=3D scard the "Alternate Concept 1", because it blends vertical and h= =3D orizontal menus, it soon avoids a pattern (system of meaning) and confuses = =3D the user.

Hi,

Can we merge those 2 pages = toge=3D ther?

Hi,

We have a feature page for = the =3D VM Init (including Cloud-Init and Windows

>Hello all, <= /spa=3D n>

>There is a current feat= ure =3D to embed cloud init configuration which was originally part of the Run dial= =3D og to be part of the create/ Edit VM dialog. This presents a challenge in t= =3D erms of good display of the hierarchies of information since the VM dialog is already having subtabs stacked verti= =3D cally. Please find here (h= tt=3D p://www.ovirt.org/UX/cloud_init) alternate concepts of how we might rep= =3D resent all the levels of hierarchy from the VM dialog sub tabs to the cloud init categories and the content (= =3D which is also nested sometimes) for each.

>I have provided brief e= xpla=3D nations of each concept and I would like your feedback on these ... esp wit= =3D h regard to feasibility. The general goals that govern the various concepts= =3D are -

>- Correct representatio= n of=3D the hierarchy

>- Not overloading the u= sers=3D with too much info and cluttering the screen

>- Not utilizing the sam= e UI=3D paradigm ( like expand/ collapse) for different types of info. For example= =3D , we have categories of info where the fields are distinct from each other = =3D and then we have times where the user is able to add multiple instances of the same object type - e.g NICs and have= =3D the same set of fields be defined for each instance.

>Your feedback is appreciated.
