Hi,
Please review/comment on the Custom Properties Sheet feature page:
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/CustomPropertiesSheet
It looks great.
Are all the keys going to be exposed in the dropdown, or will we have private keys that
the user has to know about?

private keys that the user has to know about?
All keys will be exposed; not sure what you mean by "private", but all keys are
treated the same today.
If we want some kind of differentiation between the keys, it is a another feature...

if we're exposing all (which is preferable) then it's perfect.
If we want some kind of differentiation between the keys, it is a
another feature...

Is this cool looking design be also available from the user portal?
If so how do you prevent any user that just have permission to Edit VMs to do damage? With
custom property you can do almost anything.
Consider the case where there is a hook that allows to directly attach a LUN/Add Tap/more
destructive options. It is intended for use of the sys admins but any user can use.
You would say correctly that this was always the case. But with the old textbox interface
the user would need to know that the option exists. Now we actually tell him what he can
use.
Cool for the webadmin / kind'a dangerous from the user portal until you get
permissions per users feature for it.
The minimum that is needed is an option to disable this properties tab in the user
portal.
Better have MLA for using properties at all if per property can't be accommodated.

Hi,
Please review/comment on the Custom Properties Sheet feature page:

Just my $0.02:
The table could have always empty row at the bottom, eliminating one or
all [+] buttons and saving user one needless click:
[ key1 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key2 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key3 |v] [ value ] [-]

The [+] buttons at first and second rows would allow user to insert a

Thanks for the input, David. This is an interesting idea.
Indeed, when choosing a key in the last row, we can automatically add a new "please
select a key..." row, which actually saves the user a button-click for adding a new
row.
On the other hand, from graphic-design point of view, it will look more consistent and
"pretty" if:
- The "please select a key..." row won't be displayed (unless, or course,
the user explicitly chose to add another row)
- All (full) rows will have both [+] and [-] buttons next to them
i.e., instead of your suggestion, which looks like this:
[ key1 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key2 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key3 |v] [ value ] [-]
[ "please select a key..." |v]
it will be "prettier" like this:
[ key1 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key2 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key3 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
and only if clicking on [+], it will be:
[ key1 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key2 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key3 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ "please select a key..." |v]
I believe that auto-sorting can be confusing, as it can result in rows "jumping"
up and down whenever changing the selection(s) in the Key drop-down(s), therefore I
don't think it is a good idea to implement it here.

this could be sort of mitigated by sorting server-side upon
modification.
therefore I don't think it is a good idea to implement it here.
OTOH if we're to be manual sorting friendly, we should allow rearranging
of the rows by drag & drop or by some sort of move up/down buttons and
the dialog would start to be cluttered.
I don't really like either of these but auto-sort is slightly better IMO
as it is kept consistent accross various VMs without user interaction.

Almost; the "please select a key..." row is still always displayed; question is
if we want to save a button-click (your suggestion) or to have a "cleaner" sheet
(my suggestion).

I don't really like either of these but auto-sort is slightly better

Indeed, auto-sort will keep the order consistent across all VMs.
However, maybe the user would like to see the properties in the order in which he filled
them; in this case, your suggestion of "move up/down buttons" is probably
relevant here.
I believe that the majority of use-cases won't require more than 2 or 3 custom
properties per VM, so sorting won't be that critical, therefore I assume we can start
without it; I will add "sorting" to the "open issues" section in the
wiki page.

I should have probably elaborated more on this. To me, UI with less
elements looks cleaner and prettier even when one of them stands out.
There's also nothing wrong with standing out if the element has
"special" meaning (one add vs bunch of modify).
Specifically, this looks cleaner to my eyes:
[ key1 |v] [ value ] [-]
[ key2 |v] [ value ] [-]
[ key3 |v] [ value ] [-]
[ "Please select a key..." |v]
than
[ key1 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key2 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key3 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]

Indeed, auto-sort will keep the order consistent across all VMs.
However, maybe the user would like to see the properties in the order in which he filled
them; in this case, your suggestion of "move up/down buttons" is probably
relevant here.
I believe that the majority of use-cases won't require more than 2 or 3 custom
properties per VM, so sorting won't be that critical, therefore I assume we can start
without it; I will add "sorting" to the "open issues" section in the
wiki page.
That seems as more argument in favor of auto sorting.

I should have probably elaborated more on this. To me, UI with less
elements looks cleaner and prettier even when one of them stands out.
There's also nothing wrong with standing out if the element has
"special" meaning (one add vs bunch of modify).
Specifically, this looks cleaner to my eyes:
[ key1 |v] [ value ] [-]
[ key2 |v] [ value ] [-]
[ key3 |v] [ value ] [-]
[ "Please select a key..." |v]
than
[ key1 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key2 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
[ key3 |v] [ value ] [+] [-]
Note that in your suggestion above, you cannot insert a new key in between existing keys -
only at the end; so
although "cleaner", it has less functionality (depends also on the sorting,
which is another issue; if there is auto-sorting, it doesn't matter).
It is also a matter of taste, I guess, so no absolute right or wrong here IMO.

Or no sorting at all (i.e. simply display in order of filling)...
In any case, open issue has been added to the wiki.

+1
another tiny comment:
can the empty line contain all the fields from initial state
[["please select a key..."][field(empty)][+][-]]
instead of showing them only after selecting a key.
[["please select a key..."]]
both of these scenarios are liable,
I can select a key, regret (change back to [please select a key]) and the field and
buttons are still visible.
so for the sake of complexity, I prefer to have only one.

another tiny comment:
can the empty line contain all the fields from initial state
[["please select a key..."][field(empty)][+][-]]
instead of showing them only after selecting a key.
[["please select a key..."]]
both of these scenarios are liable,
I can select a key, regret (change back to [please select a key]) and
the field and buttons are still visible.
so for the sake of complexity, I prefer to have only one.
* Note that the field input control type (text-box, drop-down) depends on the key anyway
(more accurately, on the validation regular expression of the key), so what are you going
to show in case of "please select a key..."?
* Need to make sure that validation fails in case field value is not empty and key is
"please select a key...".
Due to both of these reasons, I prefer to not show an input control at all in this case.
* No problem of having a "+" button there; however, need to make sure that in
case there is only one row in the sheet and it is with "please select a key...",
the "-" button should be either hidden or disabled (or non-responsive), since we
can't remove the last row.

* Note that the field input control type (text-box, drop-down)
depends on the key anyway (more accurately, on the validation
regular expression of the key), so what are you going to show in
case of "please select a key..."?
empty text-box
* Need to make sure that validation fails in case field value is not
empty and key is "please select a key...".
Due to both of these reasons, I prefer to not show an input control
at all in this case.
still, I don't see any difference, except adding complexity/devel-time/bugs later on.
plus I think it's nicer.
* No problem of having a "+" button there; however, need to make sure
that in case there is only one row in the sheet and it is with
"please select a key...", the "-" button should be either hidden or
disabled (or non-responsive), since we can't remove the last row.

I would prefer to just disable the value input field and do
re-validation upon change of key (clear the value if it fails validation
against a new key) or server-side when it is changed (clear the
key-value pair altogether).

still, I don't see any difference, except adding complexity/devel-time/bugs later
