Introduce Tool Tips for Blackout Module

Hi,


it would be great if you could also have a tool tip for the blackout module.

It would be very useful to leave a hint on how a value is supposed to be provided e.g.


Host Name (Regular Expression, lowercase, without Domain suffix!)

Hi Markus,


Very good idea. 


Something like:

1) Configuration

2) User display

Does this meet your need?

'On line help' for each information seems a good idea too

Do you know you can restrict selection to users/users group, such as:

Will it make it into 3.3?


/Thomas

This is really good news ... it will help us a lot! I am really looking forward to 3.3.

ProactivePack has become a quite common answer to many questions.

Hi Thomas,


To go deeper, does following solution matchs your expectations

If a html file is available, then the question mark can be clicked to show the help content.

Files are located in data/<ModuleName>/Help/ and must be named as follow:

1. <slotname>.html for every language

2. <slotname>-2 digit lang code>.html for a specific language

 

If file <ProactivePack Installation path>/data/BlackoutMgt/Help/mc_host.html exists then when user click on question mark content will be displayed such as:

 

 

In order to get such a result, file content should be:

<h2> Help on hostname choice</h2>

<hr/>

<p> You need to declare host you under maintenance using hostname or regular expression</p>

<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">

 <p> Example: hostname must be defined as in event management. Short name only. Do not use FQDN.</p>

</div>

<div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">

 <p> Example: hostname must be defined as in event management. Short name only. Do not use FQDN.</p>

</div>

<div class="alert alert-warning" role="alert">

 <p> Example: hostname must be defined as in event management. Short name only. Do not use FQDN.</p>

</div>

<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">

 <p> Example: hostname must be defined as in event management. Short name only. Do not use FQDN.</p>

</div>

Hi Stephane,

 

your mock-up pretty much reflects exactly what I am looking for! Since it is hard to provide a syntax checking for a regular expression, I at least need a tool tip to remind the users what kind of data they are supposed to add here.

Additionally maybe it would also be possible to add a symbol next to the text box that indicates some additional background information. When you click on the symbol, people would get a more detailed instruction as a pop-up.


Here is an example ...

... and this is how the pop-up might look like ...

Could this be an add-on to the regular expressions? Like either you choose from a suggested list (like you showed in your example) or you manually provide an expression instead?
