Description Catherine Robson 2013-10-21 03:07:22 UTC

Description of problem:
The palette of switchyard options in JBDS canvas mode is currently a bit hard to look at and comprehend.

Suggestions for improvement:
- Remove 'Select' from palette listing
- Remove 'Marquee' from palette listing
(both of these are default behavior and do not require canvas actions)

- Consider new grouping and ordering of remaining palette objects.  Should those items that are binding related all be grouped together as "generic" bindings and then the specific types of bindings you might do, and implementations being grouped as generic and then the specific ones you can do?  UX needs to have further discussion with development about these items to come to final conclusion on group names and ordering of remaining objects.

Version:
FSW 6.0.0.ER5

Catherine, both the Select and Marquee palette items have been removed for a bit now. Do you have any additional information you can offer on the grouping/ordering of the palette as we move forward? Am curious if you have a proposed grouping you could suggest along with what the perceived benefits would be?

Comment 3 Catherine Robson 2014-10-13 12:24:45 UTC

Brian, I think this is worth a document to capture the current palette options and grouping and discuss/review potential changes.  I am not an expert on using the tooling, so it will probably make sense to capture some sensical changes and then review them with your team and some SMEs.

Which version of the tooling should I be looking at to do this?  JBDS 8.0.0 w/ FSW tooling enabled?

Comment 4 Brian Fitzpatrick 2014-10-13 13:36:11 UTC

Sounds great Catherine. Please let us know if you need any help getting started.

Nacking this bugzilla - this is an EAP issue and FSW 6.2 will not embed EAP.

Comment 7 Ken Johnson 2015-03-12 18:51:23 UTC

How does EAP impact this issue?

Comment 8 Brian Fitzpatrick 2015-03-12 19:44:29 UTC

Agreed - not sure how EAP impacts this.

Comment 9 Len DiMaggio 2015-03-16 15:45:25 UTC

Nacked in error! This is not an EAP issue.

Comment 10 Len DiMaggio 2015-03-20 14:26:38 UTC

Nacking - not a blocker for 6.2 - would be nice to have, but Dev does not have time for this in 6.2

Comment 11 tcunning 2015-04-01 15:35:20 UTC

Talked to Brian - I don't think we have time for this for the 6.2 release.  Would be happy to take this for a subsequent release.
