I find myself heavily using the “view global definition” button in UIv3. I’m using it UIv4 too, but when focused on the instance, it’s one of three options squirreled away under the overflow menu. That’s not a big deal except for the extra couple dozen or so clicks a day for me. The real problem is that the other two options under there are pretty dangerous: “Disable Alert Generation” and “Stop Collecting”. These used to be toggle switches in the old UI and I get why putting them under the overflow is a nice thing to do. However, I’ve had several heart attacks while trying to just navigate to the global definition of a datasource when I thought I accidentally clicked on one of the other two options.
tl;dr - don’t put a non-changing action right next to two pretty severe configuration altering buttons.
Also, why is there an overflow anyway? For one thing, there’s more than enough room for all the buttons. For another thing, the “Manage Resource Options” button is right next to it. Guess what it is? A menu with sub options. That’s right, there are basically two overflow menus right next to each other when you are drilled into the instance.
