+10000000 Poor use of top half of the screen (I'm referring to KC pages) 1. The 'IBM Knowledge Center' banner needn't be permanent, could be an auto-close area 2. The blue area showing the section that is currently open (Home > z/OS 2.3.0 > etc etc), and the huge section header 3. Table of Contents / Change version or Product is its own row. Does it need to be? 4. I would rather see the ToC permanently in the left than waste space on the right side for Related Topics 5. The huge banner at the bottom.
I block most of these off using an ad block but it would be great if the site itself screamed "speed". For reference, try opening any indexed PDF in Sumatra PDF reader. Bare bones to the core, but gives you an idea of what's great UX. – Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Allan Staller Sent: 28 February 2019 13:52 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: New look and linking for V2.3 product documentation PDFs Ref: https://www-01.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/svc00100.nsf/pages/zOSV2R3Library I observed one thing. The introductory "new style" screens are portrait oriented and take up a lot of vertical real estate. The new screens generate a lot of unnecessary scrolling. I have a laptop and a desktop, both with landscape oriented monitors. The only portrait oriented device I have is a cell phone. I can’t speak for everyone, but I spend *VERY LITTLE* time reviewing manuals on my cell phone. Reduced use of vertical real estate would go a long way to enhancing the user experience. Thanks for all of your efforts and thanks for the heads up on the new link styles. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Susan Shumway Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 9:01 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: New look and linking for V2.3 product documentation PDFs Hi all, I want to make you aware that every PDF in the z/OS V2.3 library was just refreshed to update the visual style and link coding. Because of the link coding changes, clicking on a link in an old-style PDF to a new style PDF will not work, and vice versa. So, to ensure that all cross-book links continue to work for you, ensure that you download the entire fresh set of library PDFs from https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fservers%2Fresourcelink%2Fsvc00100.nsf%2Fpages%2FzOSV2R3Library&data=02%7C01%7Callan.staller%40HCL.COM%7C387bcaf360e54f3564d808d69d290d06%7C189de737c93a4f5a8b686f4ca9941912%7C0%7C1%7C636869197008313274&sdata=Wj%2FzVYo2im8YpdAP9Wwiq5%2BxR0XUCsG6okyRhAba25E%3D&reserved=0 as soon as you get the chance. -Sue Shumway ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
