Description of problem: The list of results for the channel filters on the main Channels page often include channels which do not look directly related to the filter itself -- currently there is no visual or explanatory method for relating these results to the filter so the user is left to infer the relationship correctly or incorrectly. Prevously, before EUS, we grouped these results into a sense of parent/child relationships using a tree. Currently, we have a flat, unstructured list without any sense of dependence or relationship... the user is left to figure out what the results mean relevant to the filter criteria. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 504-QA How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the main Channels page using the primary navigation 2. By default, you should see a default filter and results for "RHEL" + "latest version" + "all archs" 3. Or change any of the filter criteria and click "filter" Actual results: [When using the default filter:] Red Hat Productivity Apps Server 5.0... [archs removed] Red Hat Supplementary Server 5.0... Red Hat Virtualization Server 5.0... [notice that none of the products returned explictly state "Red hat enterprise linux" anywere in their titles, so the user must make guesses as to why these were returned] Expected results: At least one entry with the product name from the filter criteria. Any other entries should show some explicit relationship (child/associated) to the filter's product. Even if the product isn't explictly available, using it as a grouping element for children/associated channels would offer a direct sense of context. Additional info: This is a fundamental UI and usability concept, and a common error made in filters and search results.
I tested in RHEL 5.0.4. I used the default filter - search for "Red hat enterprise linux"and it showed a result of 6 channels as follows: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 Red Hat FasTrack Server 5 Red Hat Network Tools Server 5 Red Hat Productivity Apps Server 5 Red Hat Supplementary Server 5 Red Hat Virtualization Server 5 So there was at least one entry shown up with the product name from the filter criteria. Showing entries with explicit relationship might be the thing that we need to work on.
verified in dev - looks really good. A huge improvement over what was there.
