The iTOP 3.0 Project Management module seems to be missing a module menu icon. This is easy enough to fix in a quick extension, but should maybe get fixed in the main release. <menus> <menu xsi:type="MenuGroup" id="ProjectManagement" _delta="redefine"><rank>30</rank> <style> <decoration_classes>fas fa-chart-bar</decoration_classes> </style> </menu> </menus> </itop_design>
The main vertical left hand menu is quite a bit of mouse travel. Having to slide over to the far left menu, click a menu item then traverse center and up to click a flyout menu item, then down to what you wanted to overview page list item - is a really long way to go for 99% same routine navigation from section to section. It would be really nice if the main menu was either hover-style and click opened the overview or default section page - or even if default overview page opened in the background...
On logoff go back to the logon page. Most people who logoff will either immediately, soon or eventually want to go back to the logon. It would be nice if logoff just went back to the logon page. Here is a quick fix for 'logoff.php' which will loop through one more ajax page-side page reload (thereby ensure you really are fully logged off) and back to the logon page. Replace the last two lines of logoff.php (commented out here) with these three lines... //$oPage = LoginWebPage::NewLoginWebPage();...
Clicking NOW in a time selection, you then have to move over and click again on OK to submit the current date/time. It would be even better if time fields just automatically defaulted to current date/time. This would save a ton clicks.
We would like to open discussion topic on iTOP 3.0 regarding CLICK REDUCTION. We are currently widely testing the iTOP 3.0 UX and have nothing but praise for the all the amazing hard work by the designers, developers, coders, debuggers. However there is one comment nearly everyone in our testing groups: developers, technicians, management, supervisors all had in common about iTOP 3.0: TOO MANY CLICKS. We would like to document and suggest different areas where additional clicks could be avoided....
Thanks for checking. This doesnt seem to be an accurately tracked issue by us. It seems this may be related to our iTOP testing environment repleatedly rebuilding and/or restoring from snapshots. We found an easy way to override and disable. It would still be nice to have a global disable setting or allow MoTD style editing/customize the message - but we are sure there are much better areas to spend everyone's valuable time -> like reducing all the extra clicks :)
To customize ITOP logon with general CSS look/layout changes you will need to create an extension and simply inject a CSS reference to the login page. With some creative CSS you can pretty much re-arrange everything visually. If you need more advance customization you will need to extend the base twig html files (/templates/login) with files of the same name included in your extension. This is a lot more involved - and probably not necessary unless doing some thing major on the login page. https://www.itophub.io/wiki/page?id=2_7_0%3Acustomization%3Alogin_screen...
Thank you for picking this up so quickly! We are just beginning to fully explore and test ITOP 2.7 and 3.0 with our UI and LINUX developers together with a small set of our experienced group of techincal team users for real-world testing. We are glad to help where we can... which is thanks enough.
