Description Stephen Wadeley 2016-09-19 15:59:24 UTC 
Description of problem:

The context menu dynamically changes the names of the entries based on what you selected before. This makes it hard to describe how to use the menu.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Red Hat Satellite
Version 6.2 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look to the top left under the words "Red Hat Satellite"
2. Select the menu underneath whose name depends on the current setting.
3.

Actual results:
The menu items under Organization and Location change based on your previous selection.

Expected results:
The menu items under Organization and Location should say "Select Organization" and "Select Location" respectively. 


Additional info:
Please rethink the design as the dynamic name of the menu is also not ideal, although not as annoying as the changing menu entries.

I'm not sure what the priority is to change this now, but I agree that the menu is not ideal and I had a customer at Summit mention it to me as not being intuitive. 

This could be addressed with designs I've done for vertical nav:

As a temporary solution, I would advise the following (see attached)

Ohad, how are things going with the vertical nav work upstream?
Comment 5 Daniel Lobato Garcia 2017-09-22 09:14:39 UTC 
Even with Vertical Navigation, this is not fixed. https://vertnav.demo.theforeman.org/

Bryan - it didn't.

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
