One thing to think about I have noted in a comment here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN-575?focusedCommentId=16393594&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16393594
Something to think about for this proposal - we should avoid thinking that the idea is to reproduce the current interface using more modern technologies. This is an opportunity to rethink the structure of the user interface, irrespective of the technology. The current interface presents a fairly data-structure oriented view of applications, drilling down through nested entity structures and presenting tables of properties and action records. This might be an opportunity to introduce a new structure using modern ideas of UI design, thinking about how to highlight what's important to users and present that in a human-oriented way. For example when there are errors in activities it should not require a long series of clicks to navigate to them, rather the errors should be visible without any clicks or with just one. Sensors are probably the most important aspects of entities so good presentation of sensors is important. I'm no sort of UI expert but perhaps there are some out there who could help design the new UI. regards Geoff On Fri, 9 Mar 2018 at 16:59 Mert Kahyaoğlu <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you so much John and Thomas for your time and wishes. > > Thomas, I really appreciate your feedback.
