Hi Tomas,
I've couple of comments, mainly from User POV.
Currently:
- we've many useful information, but only on Template tab. Once user
(administrator) wants create new VM, he HAVE TO go to template tab,
remember/write down name of template & then went back to VM tab & create Vm
from desired template.
New after this change:
- Administrator will go to tree - clicks few times (or just once in case is
expanded by default), then to DC then to Template tab.
Overall at lest +1 click => almost EACH time someone needs to create VM?
What if we bring these changes?
- Create VM window will show as much info about template as possible
- Description, NICs, list pf apps! (there is plenty useless space in gray
area on top of this window above/top/between {DC & CLUSTER})
- as much info as possible (VM subtab on Hosts/Templates main tabs)
- links between entities which are leading to different entities - once I'm in
template VM subtab, why I can't click to button & be transferred to VM tab to
see all info about this VM?
After mentioned changes I don't really care in which layer or how deep tabs
are. Currently we're adding/deleting tabs in each release in a loop.
