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 Ashish Humbe 2018-07-24 18:13:27 UTC 
For the customers using a large set of Red Hat products, it is really difficult to filter out and get a specific repo for the required product and required RHEL version. 

Example: The customer wants to search and enable the Jboss repository, they can use a search query as:  "name ~ Jboss", it provides them 13 page result. We can change the per page entry option to 50 but still, they have to scan through 5 pages to get the repo. 


There are less chances that users will have the repo label handy to search the repo in the search bar.

I think the current practice for enabling a new repo is complex and not user friendly. I feel like we can do better. The repos should be categorized. Enabling a repo should be as simple as buying a tyre.

1. select product type(RPM, Kickstart, etc.)

2. select a repo that belongs into the first selected product.

After selecting, the repo should be enabled and appear in the Enabled Repositories widget. I think people is more care about what repos are enabled, so
the Available Repos widget could be removed.

I understand that we have no time to change the current design before 6.4, so hopefully this can be considered in the future.

On the other hand, for the current version, it would be nice if we can drag one from "Available Repositories" to "Enabled Repositories" or the other way round.
Comment 5 jalviso 2018-07-31 06:29:47 UTC 
I would suggest the following:

1. Add a pop-up help when hovering into a button on what it is used for. As a user, it takes me some time to understand how to use the new page of Red Hat Repositories;

Example: 

- On the dropdown of Search Criteria: Available, Enabled, Both
- On repository type: RPM, Source RPM, Debug RPM, Kickstart, OSTree, Beta, Other
- Recommended Repositories On/Off

2. The dropdown "repository type: RPM,..." and "Export Enabled as CSV" is located on the right-hand side of the page which can be mislead as belonging to  
"Enabled Repository". This buttons/dropdown should be nicely placed near the "Red Hat Repositories" search dropdown. Remove that line divider in the middle.

3. Improve the info on recommended repositories ON/OFF button.
   Suggest to put "typical Satellite/Capsule" setup. Customer's 
   typical setup could defer than this, example, customer's typical setup could
   include "Oracle Java" to every Host as their typical.

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/24550 has been resolved.
Comment 15 Bryan Kearney 2020-05-01 13:31:16 UTC 
Satellite 6.4 is now End of Life. These bus will not be fixed on the 6.4 stream. Users of Satellite should upgrade to the latest version of Satellite to get access to the most current set of bugfixes and feature improvements.
