Feature #23749
openUnclutter Settings page
Description
Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1517332
Description of problem:
The current settings dialog overwhelms non-regular users.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.2.12
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open "Settings" on the Satellite
Actual results:
A large amount of settings in 9 categories, ordered by name
Expected results:
A clean and logic interface
Additional info:
(Detailed description from the support case)
Settings not grouped intuitive for the End user:
The settings are sorted on the internal key name instead of grouped logical on functionality
Below are a couple of examples:
- Unstructured settings related to UI spread across multiple tabs and not grouped together
host_power_status is in General tab
Always show configuration status is in Puppet tab
- Related settings shall be put together
- Puppet 'Out of sync interval' is 2 lines above the related 'Puppet interval'. How shall the use understand those are related.
- The description is not consistent with the use of the word 'Puppet'
- All puppet populate from facts settings spread in Provisioning and Pupept
- 'Update subnets from facts' is in Puppet, but 'Ignore facts for domain' is in Provisioning.
Settings are too much:
Hide Advanced settigns under 'Advanced' or 'More' because they distract from real user relevant settings
Candidates for the Advanced settings are things like:
- Certificate locations that are normally configured through the installer
- Legacy puppet settings like 'Legacy Puppet hostname' and 'Puppetrun'

Roxanne had few things on her mind about this page, please keep her involved if you're redesigning it :-)
