New Resources UI

I know a lot of people probably worked hard on this and not everyone will agree with me, but I personally hate it.

I find it almost unusable. It’s incredibly slow and I’m never sure if I missed clicking the element.

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.

Did I mention that on the resource level, that “Manage Resource Options” button is not its own button, but its functions are displayed in the overflow menu.

If I enter a dialog, make no changes and cancel, I should not get an “Are you sure?” prompt.

It’s irrelevant whether I’m sure.  I made no changes.

Affects both the Resource Group and Resource edit dialogs.

It’s certainly way too busy and hard on the eyes.  I’ve been playing with it for a few months now to help with bug ID and feedback but I can’t even bear to use it long before toggling it back off. 

One of these is disabled can you tell which one?

Honesty is the best policy. Truly, customer’s honest feedback and criticism allows us to make changes to the product in the future. Appreciate the transparency David!

In the new resource UI view, when viewing configuration backups, the icon labelled “View Full Screen” simply opens a small dialog window in the middle of the view, which is hardly “full screen”.  I was expecting it to take up the full view.

Hey @Mosh Thanks sharing that, good catch. Do you like the expanded modal or would you prefer that expands into full screen as labeled? 

My subject line disappeared. This is “Table settings are not persistent”. While I appreciate that the PMs don’t have any idea how to navigate the community, putting all responses for resources under this one thread is going to be unsustainable. Why not just instruct us to tag with either “Resources, UIv4” or “Reports, UIv4” or “Services, UIv4”.

I’ve already lost where my things are. And it appears that feedback is being deleted. It’s also going to make it harder to see which problems should be the highest priority in getting fixed. When someone comes in, they’ll have to read through this entire thread to see if someone has already mentioned the problem they are bringing to light.
