Created attachment 1382224 [details] screenshot Description of problem: [UI] - Networks - Add info tooltip (blue i icon) next to the 'Custom' field in the External section. Now that we have the ovn localnet feature, we can choose data center networks for the ovn network attachment or we can set a Custom value, what it this custom value? Custom for the physnet feature means, you can set an external network(not managed by rhv) in this field or set the network's VDSM name as well. Without adding the blue 'i' icon tooltip, no one will understand the for what custom is used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.2.1.1-0.1.el7 How reproducible: 100%
I feel like this should not be on me (?).
You should be the one suggesting the text. I think that Ales can take it from there.
Do you think following tooltip would do the job? "Set `provider:physical_network` attribute of the Network to a custom value" More about the dialog is documented in [1] and Network API described in [2]. Thanks a lot.

My first suggestion is to change the label to 'Custom Network'. For the infotip text does something like the following make sense, "Custom network allows you to add an external network or set the network's VDSM name."?
Thanks. I think it should be 'Custom Physical Network' to distinguish it from logical Networks mentioned in the rest of the dialog. Not sure about the infotip. It doesn't add any network, actually the effect is completely dependent on the external network provider. Also, let's not mention VDSM there. Although it is possible to use it for custom VDSM network, it is already available through the drop-down, there is no added value duplicating it. I can see it being too low-level for a infotip. Maybe "Custom physical network allows you to specify custom physical network attribute on the provider network".
That label name works for me, just looking to provide the user with enough information about the network type. A more general description in the info tip works for me.
So which description should we pick?
Verified on - rhvm-4.3.5.4-0.1.el7.noarch
