Hi,
In an initial analysis, in my opinion I would discard the "Alternate Concep=
t 3", because it goes against the heuristic number #6 of Nielsen (recogniti=
on rather than recall), it soon becomes difficult for the user remember whe=
re are the options.
Also discard the "Alternate Concept 1", because it blends vertical and hori=
zontal menus, it soon avoids a pattern (system of meaning) and confuses the=
user.
Thanks.

Subject: [Engine-devel] Options for embedding Cloud init features into VM =
dialog -
Need Input
Hello all,
There is a current feature to embed cloud init configuration which was ori=
ginally
part of the Run dialog to be part of the create/ Edit VM dialog. Th=
is presents a challenge in terms of good display of the hierarchies of inf=
ormation since the VM dialog is already having subtabs stacked vertically. =
Please find here (http://www.ovirt.org/UX/cloud_init) alternate concepts of=
how we might represent all the levels of hierarchy from the VM dialog sub =
tabs to the cloud init categories and the content ( which is also nested so=
metimes) for each.
I have provided brief explanations of each concept and I would like your f=
eedback
on these ... esp with regard to feasibility. The general goals that=
govern the various concepts are -
- Correct representation of the hierarchy
- Not overloading the users with too much info and cluttering the screen
- Not utilizing the same UI paradigm ( like expand/ collapse) for differen=
t types
of info. For example, we have categories of info where the fields a=
re distinct from each other and then we have times where the user is able t=
o add multiple instances of the same object type - e.g NICs and have the sa=
me set of fields be defined for each instance.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks
Malini
