Hi
Thanks Everbody for looking into this and providing your comments.
Rick, I am ok with the Tabs as long as we provide enhanced user
experience
thro them. We must either have the tabs or the pane on the left
for the
first level navigation. i.e. For every tab selected the
navigation pane on
the left has a diff set of relevant options. So if SCA tab is
seleced then
on the left pane we see only stuff releated to SCA. I would feel
this to be
consistent and less confusing.
Lee and Raymond, it is no surprise that the links are not
working :). I had
submitted ahead that this is just to get a top level feel of the
navigation
I am proposing and the links may either not work or work wrongly.
Meanwhile I am proceeding with the changes and will get up more
updates on
that JIRA before this weekend.
Thanks
- Venkat
