September 2023 Check-In - Who's using UIv4 as their main UI?
One measure of UIv4’s success will be that people are choosing to use it by default.
So go for it!
- Who’s using it by default?
- On which pages?
- When do you find yourself having to switch (in either direction)?
- Where is it better than UIv3?
- Where is it worse than UIv3?
- What’s still missing?

·2 years agoI went about two weeks on UIv4, then had some pressing issues that I had to resolve more quickly so i switched back to v3. I haven’t tried v4 since.
Dashboards v4 only lasted about 15 minutes. That one needs a few more months in the oven.

·2 years agoI honestly only have been using UIv3 for the Resources section almost exclusively. UIv4 is just not responsive enough, having to click on things 4, 5, 6 times before the page responds is mentally exhausting for me and not worth the struggle. So far the only time I switch to UIv4 is for one of the newer bulk select actions like moving resources from one group to the other.
I also was excited for the overview tab for resources in UIv4 but to me it’s currently not useful at all - I need tables of information, not just graphs. I struggle with the Info tab lumping all properties together in an alphabetical list - I don’t need most of that information most of the time. I need a handful of properties separated from that list somehow so I can find what I need. It would also be extremely helpful if it were easier to tell the difference between which properties are device properties and which properties are instance properties.
I really want to like UIv4, but it’s just not working for me as far as resources are concerned
I am also very eagerly awaiting any sort of details, planned features/updates, whatever for the Reporting section’s UIv4 makeover. There currently are pain points with reporting for my organization and I’d really rather not sink a ton of time into figuring out ways around them that only kind of meet our needs if there will be fixes coming very soon
