52.0. "GUI : some remarks" by KETJE::SYBERTZ (Marc Sybertz@BRO - 856/7572) Tue Jan 05 1993 15:11

1) GUI

- I don't understand why in the 'configuration editor',
the edit button ask you first what you want to do 
(show/modify, create, delete) and then ask you what
'object' you want to select (characteristics, ...)

- I also don't understand why you have to first select
the member inside the object before having the window.


Actually I expect to first select an 'object' (user, 
system, ...), then to have the corresponding window
with a scroll list of all knowned information for that 
type of object, and finally I decide to create a new
user (-> example) or to modify/delete an existing one.

Please try to change the Scan Profile for all your 
systems and you will directly understand why the current
GUI is not user friendly at all.

Marc,

  I understand what you are saying, unfortunately for
  V1.0 it is too late now, however, we will try and
  do something about this for V1.1

  Thanks for the input, keep it coming

Cheers,
Phil
