Hello everyone, I was working on date format unification recently and as part of that, it turned out we have different opinions on when to use relative form and when absolute one. Imagine a hosts table and its last report column. Today we display a relative time information, e.g. "1 month ago", "2 hours ago". In Foreman 1.16, hovering cursor over this information will display a tooltip with absolute time, e.g. "31 Aug 12:52". The same applies to facts and reports tables.
The original request [1] asked for changing this in reports table so that we display absolute time. The reason is that usually the list of reports for a particular host loses the accuracy after few first records, so you end up with a table that has "1 day ago" in many rows. Usually the first few lines time information is readable. So I'd like to ask users, whether they would prefer having absolute time or relative time in hosts, reports and fact table, while on hover it would show the other format in a tooltip. Since among reviewing developers it was nearly 50:50, additional question is, should this be perhaps configurable via Settings? If you have an opinion, please fill in the following poll [2] [1] http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/19047 [2] https://goo.gl/forms/MLei2nOqtqSxBL9V2 Thanks everyone for their input -- Marek -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Foreman users" group.
