Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description sthirugn@redhat.com 2016-03-08 19:00:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
Dashboard - Add/remove widget changes should not be persistent until 'Save Dashboard' is clicked

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.2.0-beta-snap2.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to Satellite UI
2. Navigate to Monitor -> Dashboard 
3. Add or remove a widget
4. Log out and log back in

Actual results:
Add or remove widget changes are saved automatically without clicking 'Save Dashboard'

Expected results:
Add or remove widget changes should not be saved automatically until the user clicks 'Manage' -> 'Save Dashboard' link

Additional info:
Currently minimize/restore settings work fine, i.e., the changes are temporary and persists only when 'Save Dashboard' link is clicked.
Comment 2 Justin Sherrill 2016-03-24 16:44:14 UTC 
I'd prefer if we don't have a save button it seems more intuitive.  A user may not know about the save button and refresh the page.  I think its safer to auto save and not require a manual save.
Comment 4 Roxanne Hoover 2016-11-30 14:28:09 UTC 
There are two correct solutions from a UX perspective: 

1.Keep the save button and make save manual.

2.Remove the save button and go with auto-save.


From my understanding of this context, an auto-save would not be harmful. Other areas where data is being manipulated auto-save is riskier because the user may have made a mistake or was toying around. A manual save would acknowledge the volition of their choice. 

However a dashboard is an area where they determine what they want displayed and are not necessarily manipulating anything significant. It's also worth pointing out that they get a confirmation dialogue upon deleting any element, which offers better assurance that they are not mistakingly deleting something. Also - adding the widget back is fairly clear. The save button is also not clearly visible - basically I expected auto-save since I didn't see a save button without activating the drop down.
Comment 5 Tomer Brisker 2016-11-30 15:04:44 UTC 
Closing per #4 as this is expected behaviour. Possible removal of the save option from the menu is not directly related to this issue as it does have an effect currently when minimizing widgets which should be dealt with separately.
Comment 6 sthirugn@redhat.com 2016-11-30 15:31:19 UTC 
Disagree with CLOSED -> WONTFIX resolution.  Instead I will change this bug to represent what has been recommended in Comment 4:

New bug description:
*******************
Dashboard inconsistencies - Fixes to be made:

1. Auto-save minimize/restore settings to be consistent with add/remove widget action.
2. Remove 'Save Dashboard' link.
Comment 7 Tomer Brisker 2017-03-12 08:08:23 UTC 
Closing as duplicate of bz1321105 which has already been merged upstream - minimize/restore has been unified with add/remove, and save button changed to "save positions" as it only saves changes to widget positions (add/removes already saves when clicked).
