Description Jeff Weiss 2011-04-01 13:53:07 UTC
Description of problem:
When you click on either "Dashboard" or "Administration" tabs, the page that loads is an unnamed main page for that tab.  There are subtabs, but this page is not one of them.

On other tabs, such as "Organizations" there is no main page.  The page that opens is one of the subtabs (in this case, "Environments" which is the first in the list and currently the only one that's been developed).

This is something that is not easily noticed until you go to automate the navigation, but it is inconsistent.  Just wanted to note this in case this was not a deliberate design decision.

There are 2 possible "Fixes" - 1) Give every tab a "main" page. 
2) Have every tab open a subtab by default, if a tab has a main page, give it a named subtab "Main" (or some such name).

Some thought should also be given to this question - Do we want tabs to remember the last subtab they had open? (My answer is yes - conceptually tabs are like windows, and should retain state when they are not visible).  Currently this is not done.

This is still a problem in one place - Administration.

The default subtab is just a blank page with a heading "Administration".  To make it consistent with the other tabs, it should default to the first subtab - "Users".

mass move to CFSE product.

Comment 4 Eric Helms 2013-01-22 16:28:39 UTC
This appears to be fixed in the most recent release with the Administration link defaulting to users.

Comment 5 Mike McCune 2013-09-19 18:11:19 UTC
These bugs have been resolved in upstream projects for a period of months so I'm mass-closing them as CLOSED:UPSTREAM.  If this is a mistake feel free to re-open.
