Description Md Nadeem 2020-12-15 17:23:33 UTC

Description of problem:

When a user click host number of a provider, it navigate to host detail page, however getting back to the same provider is not a single click task.

For Example, if the user on the host page of a vmware provider name vsphere65, you will see a navigation option on top of page as "Providers<hyperlink>-->vsphere65--->Hosts"

1. Click on hyperlink "providers" 
2. It will by default navigate you to "openshift virtualization" page
3. Switch tab to your provider, in my case it is "vmware"
4. Find the target provider row

For a better user experience, It should be a single click task, at least clicking on "providers" hyperlink should navigate you to the respective provider page

Interesting, on my end it always takes me to the VMware tab first. I need to revisit that logic. We can probably persist this tab selection as part of the URL route.

Comment 2 Gilles Dubreuil 2020-12-17 22:07:25 UTC

This has been addressed upstream on master branch and backported to release-v2.0.0-beta-2.0 with https://github.com/konveyor/forklift-ui/pull/344

Comment 3 Ilanit Stein 2021-01-12 11:46:37 UTC

@Mike,
Checked on OCP-4.7/CNV-2.6 with downstream MTV installed.

I attached the page of VMware provider hosts.
I see that there is a 'VMware' link that allows to go back to VMware providers page,
Also when clicking the 'Providers' link it opens the 'Openshift-virtualization' page.

Does this reflect what was implemented for this RFE, or maybe a newer version is required to verify it?

VMware hosts page

Comment 5 Mike Turley 2021-01-12 17:23:20 UTC

Ilanit,

Yes, this is the behavior implemented for this RFE (the VMware link going to the VMware page). I realize now that it may be confusing for the Providers link to also still exist, which takes you to the Providers page with no provider type specified (just as if you clicked Providers in the navigation menu). This just brings you to the first available provider type as returned by the inventory API.

Perhaps we should remove the Providers link from the breadcrumb bar and leave only the VMware link there. Or do you think it's okay as it is?

- Mike

Comment 6 Ilanit Stein 2021-01-13 07:56:14 UTC

@Mike,

Thanks for explaining.

The purpose of the bug as I understand is to ease the user that is in a specific provider Hosts page,
in going back to this specific provider page.

This can be done for example, by adding a link to the 'Specific VMware provider name',
Like this:
'Providers' link->'VMware' link->'Specific VMware provider name' link-->Hosts
 
Another option can be: Cancel the Providers link:
'Providers'->'VMware' link->'Specific VMware provider name' link-->Hosts  
and from the 'VMware' page have the 'Providers' link.

Comment 7 Mike Turley 2021-01-13 17:15:10 UTC

@Ilanit, the reason we don't link directly to a specific provider is because there is no dedicated page for a specific provider (aside from the host page itself). The user navigates from a list of providers of a given type to the hosts for that provider, so the breadcrumb bar reflects that organization. If we added a link to a specific provider it would have to do something like go to the provider list and scroll down to that provider, which is awkward and will not have any effect if there are not a lot of providers.

I'm curious about @Vince's opinion on this. I think what I'd like to do is remove the link from the text Providers and only have the VMware link. There is really only one place to navigate back to anyway, and it is the list of VMware providers.

Providers -> [VMware] (link) -> Provider name -> Hosts

Comment 8 Ilanit Stein 2021-01-13 18:53:28 UTC

Mike,
considering the limitations, what you offered seems OK to me.

Comment 9 Mike Turley 2021-01-13 20:13:22 UTC

Sounds good. Fixed and backported in https://github.com/konveyor/forklift-ui/pull/379. Should be all set now

The d/s image is build. Deleting the forklift-ui pod will pull it.

Verified on OCP-4.7/CNV-2.6.0 by Deleting the forklift-ui pod.
