Description of problem:
There are a number of uses of the word "template" within the Job Template page that can cause confusion to the user.
The main pieces are called a "Job Templates" and the text within the template is also called a "Template". Additionally, the file you can upload to override the template text is called a "template".
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.2 Beta Snap 12.
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to Hosts -> Job Templates
2. Navigate the forms on the page and determine is the use of "template" is made clear.
It is hard for me to look at this from a new user's viewpoint, but I'm against this. I'd say the UI improved since 6.2beta snap 12 days so the rest of the comment is about the state in the coming release.
In Satellite, template is usually "a thing that can be rendered and can be parametrized", and there are different kinds of templates (Partition Tables, Provisioning Templates, Job Templates).
Let's take a look at attachment in #2, taken from upstream (and how it will look in 6.4).
You go into Hosts > Job Templates and click on a job template's name, it takes you to the edit page for the selected job template. In the breadcrumbs bar you can see you're actually dealing with job templates and which one is currently opened. The first tab is called "Template", because there you can edit the actual "thing that can be rendered" (the same applies for the text input box). The next tab is called "Job" and over there you can configure job template specific things. The other tabs are shared among all the template kinds in Satellite.
I'm going to take the liberty of closing this as a WONTFIX. If you feel strongly about this, please feel free to reopen this BZ and we will try to figure out a solution.
