with oVirt 3.4 getting close to GA with many many great features, time to collect requests for 3.5...
1) Webadmin cleanups. Several places provide too many informations that make them feel overloaded. Columns that one usually does not care about in the daily administration.
- main VM disk overview includes column with UUIDs - VM overview includes column with display type (SPICE/VNC) - VM overview includes additional status column (text: up/down) - hosts overview includes host name/ip column
+1 We have talked of revisiting what gets displayed by default before too and also worked on a column selector that would allow users to display these other attributes when they feel it is necessary. Together, it may help address the information overload issue you are talking about. Can you and/or anyone else in the community continue the list you started here and identify the columns that are not useful to you in the various list views in Ovirt? I will be happy to compile them and then consolidate it after doing the pertinent analysis and reporting it back to you all for feedback.
thanks Malini

Yes, making all columns something you can choose what gets displayed (with a couple of them chosen by default) would really solve this whole issue of folks getting annoyed because of column X Y Z being uninteresting for them. Also, this should be done for all main tabs, not just VMs. Tall order, but would be a really nice feature. Also cool would be to be able to sort columns ascending/descending. When this gets implemented, something to consider would also be that if a column is deselected, that information really won´t be loaded either. So it´s not just a cosmetical fix (if everything gets loaded like usual, just not displayed), but would also help "speed" up the webadmin as well. So if you only choose to show the "Name" column, only this information gets loaded from engine, so it takes the shortest amount of time to present. The more columns you choose, the more information you get, but takes longer to present.
