Hello Aline,<br>
<br>
I refer to the latest version of the <br>
User Interface Design Specification - Kimchi, 2014-12-23 (aka UI
Design Spec)<br>
which defines the following structure of functionalities:<br>
<br>
<b>Host</b> (second level navigation via panel areas)<br>
Performance (System Statistics)<br>
Basic Information<br>
Repositories<br>
Debug Report<br>
Software Updates <br>
<br>
<b>Guests</b><br>
no second level functionalities<br>
<br>
<b>Templates</b><br>
no second level functionalities<br>
<br>
<b>Storage</b><br>
no second level functionalities<br>
<br>
<b>Networks</b><br>
no second level functionalities<br>
<br>
<b>Administration</b> (second level navigation via collapse/expand)<br>
Firmware Update<br>
SEP Configuration<br>
Power Options<br>
Configuration Backup<br>
Network Configuration<br>
SAN Adapters<br>
Sensor Monitor<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font color="#3333ff"><b>Problem Statement</b></font><br>
<br>
We already decided to move all Administration functionalities to
Host (currently not updated in the UI Design Spec).<br>
<br>
We are currently facing the following problems:<br>
1) Host now contains 12 second level functionalities, all other
(Guests, Templates, ...) none.<br>
We need to introduce a second level navigation for Host other
than collapse/expand<br>
2) The navigation bar elements Storage and Network (refering to
Virtualization) also exist in the Host context. <br>
This might confuse the user.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><font color="#3333ff">Proposal</font></b><br>
<br>
The described problems can be solved with the following changes:<br>
<br>
1) Introducing a second level navigation<br>
2) Changing the structure of functionalities as follows:<br>
<br>
<b>Host</b><br>
Performance (System Statistics)<br>
Basic Information<br>
Repositories<br>
Debug Report<br>
Software Updates <br>
Firmware Update<br>
SEP Configuration<br>
Power Options<br>
Configuration Backup<br>
Network Configuration<br>
SAN Adapters<br>
Sensor Monitor<br>
<br>
<b>Virtualization</b><br>
Guests<br>
Templates<br>
Storage<br>
Networks<br>
<br>
<b>Containers (future extension)</b><br>
to be defined<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Let's start a discussion on this.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
Jan<br>
