<bbuckingham> jweiss, bz 804685 isn't correct, a user can provide a comma-separated list of pkg/group names... don't have to do them 1 at a time [11:22] <jweiss> bbuckingham: ok, no way for anyone to know that though :) bbuckingham: thomasmckay: the general idea for that bug is that that ui is confusing, it's not clear what the radio buttons are for [11:23] <bbuckingham> jweiss, ok, that's different than changing from plural to singular :) [11:24] <thomasmckay> jweiss: maybe add more details to the BZ? not really sure where the confusion lies <jweiss> i'd prefer to see the radio button/textbox/links div separated from list of packages, and have a small heading, like "Install or Remove Packages" thomasmckay: bbuckingham yeah i was trying to get it into v1 (minmal change to clear up confusion) <bbuckingham> jweiss, as mentioned in different forums, we could add a help tip... could move that info out of the table... could break in to package & package groups tabs... lots of possible options [11:25] <jweiss> bbuckingham: actually that's even better. move the add/remove ui bits out of the ntable doesn't belong there IMO - should be above either under or above the filter katello commit - b21e81fbdf1c574a64fe97a95138b44dcd6e5070 Made a couple of updates to the System -> Packages pane in order to help users. 1. Split the existing table in to 2 tables. - First table is to allow the user to perform Package and Package group Add/Remove operations. User simply selects the radio button, enters a comma-separated list of names and clicks Add or Remove. - Second table provides the list of packages currently installed on the system along with the status of any package actions that are in progress. User may view the list of packages, select them and click update/remove. If no packages are selected, they may select update all. 2. Added a tipsy helptip to each table to describe how to use the table. Basically hover over the (i) icon to the far right in the table header to see the details.
