---------------------------------------
Attachment: global var.jpg
> UI : UI should be able to ignore same multiple subsequent message boxes
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CLOUDSTACK-1506
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1506
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: UI
> Environment: NA
> Reporter: Parth Jagirdar
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: global var.jpg, msg box.jpg, ticker.jpg

> Currently in UI if an,
> Action X has an associated message Y. For example say X is changing a global
> variable and Y can be message that prompts user to restart the Management
> Server.
> If user changes 3 global variables he will be presented with 3 message boxes;
> all displaying same message !
> See attached screen.
> Proposal ::
> Approach (Different than what we have in place now) is to have only one
> “Save” button for group of actions that produce same message
> Now 2 common Scenarios::
> Upon clicking “Save” button :: User changes gets realized and relevant
> message box is presented. Due to fact that each web page has similar actions
> and thus have similar messages this makes life very easy. (Multiple global
> variables changed and only one box presented requesting to restart MS)
> Upon navigating away without clicking Save :: Present a warning and if
> accepted, discard changes and continue with requested navigation; else ignore
> navigation request and present user the same page and wait for user to click
> "Save" button or to perform another action. (Repeat till either Save is
> clicked or user accepts warning)
> Current implementation:: We can see that small green “correct/right” ticker
> (Screen: ticker) next to global variable input box as the Save button.
> Clicking which our changes gets realized message pops up.
> But the problem with our current approach is of association.
> We have associated each message with each action. If we associate set of
> actions that produce the same message; say the whole table that contains
> Global Variables and associate only one Save (And in turn which results into
> associating only one message) with it then we can achieve what I am trying to
> propose here.
> I believe this is most common approach in UI based tools.
> Suggestions / Inputs?
