Re: [Engine-devel] Options for embedding Cloud init features into VM dialog - Need Input
Hi, We have a feature page for the VM Init (including Cloud-Init and Windows Sysprep): http://www.ovirt.org/Features/vm-init-persistent

Hello all,
There is a current feature to embed cloud init configuration which was originally part of the Run dialog to be part of the create/ Edit VM dialog. This presents a challenge in terms of good display of the hierarchies of information 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 sometimes) for each.
I have provided brief explanations of each concept and I would like your feedback 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 different types of info. For example, we have categories of info where the fields are distinct from each other and then we have times where the user is able to add multiple instances of the same object type - e.g NICs and have the same set of fields be defined for each instance.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks Malini _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
Hi, Can we merge those 2 pages together?
