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