Hello all, 

There is a current feature to embed cloud init configuration which was 
originally part of the Run dialog to be part of the create/ Edit VM dialog. 
This presents a challenge in terms of  good display of the hierarchies of 
information since the VM dialog is already having subtabs stacked vertically. 
Please find here (http://www.ovirt.org/UX/cloud_init) alternate concepts of how 
we might represent all the levels of hierarchy from the VM dialog sub tabs to 
the cloud init categories and the content ( which is also nested sometimes) for 
each.

I have provided brief explanations of each concept and I would like your 
feedback on these ... esp with regard to feasibility. The general goals that 
govern the various concepts are - 

- Correct representation of the hierarchy
- Not overloading the users with too much info and cluttering the screen
- Not utilizing the same UI paradigm ( like expand/ collapse) for different 
types of info. For example, we have categories of info where the fields are 
distinct from each other and then we have times where the user is able to add 
multiple instances of the same object type - e.g NICs and have the same set of 
fields be defined for each instance. 

Your feedback is appreciated.

Thanks
Malini
