Adding a system

Description of problem:

As an end user, there are certain areas of the web ui where you're faced with forms that provide no help, tooltip, or useful information as far as what each field really means, what kind of data is expected and if the field is required or not. I am attaching a screenshot here for a very specific case, but will gladly add more screenshots of different areas if someone feels that it's ok to have a "global" issue for these kinds of cases. Otherwise, I could file separate tickets too.

The screenshot shows the panel for adding a new system. None of the fields are "flagged" as required. Also, if you don't know what "Number of Sockets or LPARs" mean, there's no (obvious) easy way to obtain that information. I'd make the case that each label for a field should be a link to a pop-up/tooltip/dialog containing help text that explains the meaning of it.

Comment 4 Mike McCune 2013-08-16 18:20:29 UTC
getting rid of 6.0.0 version since that doesn't exist

Comment 5 Mike McCune 2013-09-19 18:15:36 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.
