Consider combining name/namespace/zone together across the GUI
Opened this issue · 0 comments
Description
There are many places where we show the user a name of say tcp-service
, which is possibly not a unique name for the service. Its fully qualified name is more likely to be a combination of name/zone/namespace
.
As these properties are all related to "providing a unique identifier" for the resource. It might be better to use a visually combined display for these properties rather than separating them out into different areas of the page.
Here's a hastily pasted together example of what I mean (using my uber-design-skilz) Note the west-zone
and kuma-demo-ns
underneath the name of the service.
This not only displays the information, but also in putting all these things together helps to explain that all of these 3 properties are related and used for "naming the thing".
Note: I've dropped the words/labels "Namespace" and "Zone" and just displayed the values (west-zone / kuma-demo-ns
), but we could also use a small icon+tooltip in-front of the value to indicate exactly what it is. If we used the same icons everywhere for the same things, users would quickly learn what each icon means without having to activate a tooltip.
