      I know I'm going to get crusified for this, but I really like the design and layout of ESXi's vSphere.

      List down the left of the device/server/VM you are looking at.. and the properties of that in the main window on the right.

        Hi guys, if there is any VEEAM users (or other popular VM backup products), I'll be happy to have feedback for improving our current VM backup workflow.

        See https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-web/issues/999

        I mean, it terms of UI, having something easier to understand and manage.

          I checked out the new interface yesterday. Here are some of my initial observations --

          • It's damn fast!
          • Unable to filter by host using the dropdown next to "Sort by"
          • Didn't seem intuitive way to switch to pool view, storage view, etc
          • New VM screen seems incomplete. Is it still a WIP?
          • Encountered a few "page not found" issues
          • Translation issue on New Backup page (AperΓ§u)

            Guys, it's not even beta ready πŸ˜„

            Could you wait a bit? Issues like non-existing page and broken filters are perfectly normal at this stage. Also a lot of WIP πŸ˜„

            Also the home view will have a switch to VM/host/pool view πŸ™‚

            edit: let's say Friday it will be more complete πŸ™‚

              Apparently that doesn't stop us from trying out the new shiny widgets.

                  @BRRABill Good catch πŸ˜‰ Yes and I saw the last episode Monday, thus why I used this expression πŸ˜„

                  Anyway, it was mainly a tech rework (ditched Angular 1 for ReactJS/Redux/ReactSelect). Some base components start to be shipped, so the UI will evolve more quickly now!

                            @Danp Constructive mean it brings something (ideas/bugs) we don't get before ^^ If we go public beta now, we'll have hundreds of reports about missing views/known non-finished things. That's all I would say by "constructive" πŸ™‚

                              Added some stuff this week, should feel a bit more complete on feature side.

                              Next week will be about:

                              • finishing the home view (pool/host search, switching to host mode)
                              • finishing the VM creation feature (with extra stuff)
                              • validating/replugin ACLs
                              • initial work on advanced stats view (heatmap/compare graphs)
                              • VDI attach/add on VM view, with grab reordering
                              • using pagination/filter for all tables

                              So enough to release a beta, let's say, Friday (17th).

                                    Assisted search filters for pools/hosts/tags are now working. Now on adding a switch on the home view to have also hosts.

                                      Home view can now display hosts too. ISO can be mounted in console, Ctrl+Alt+Del is also working.

                                      Full VM creation will land tomorrow, so we'll cover 80% of previous features. That's where we'll merge in next-release. Keep in mind that was a technical rework first (speed/architecture), we'll do a UI sweep probably for a 5.1

                                            • New heatmap: βœ“
                                            • VM's VDI stuff (attach, add, boot order with drag and drop): βœ“
                                            • Health view with sorted/filtered table (very useful): βœ“

                                            VM creation is not yet ready, we made a massive change (less stuff in the web side and more in the server).

                                            You could play with it on v5.x, knowing those limitations.

                                            Planned for next week:

                                            • finishing/validating VM creation
                                            • network creation on Pool level
                                            • major UI improvement for backup restore
                                            • major UI improvement for users/groups/ACLs
                                            • compare stats
                                            • search improvement (save search, configure default search)
                                            • UI sweep on some views (especially the wizard component)

                                            This will lead us to a large scale beta release (also in XOA), and probably shortly after to a "final" release itself. QA work will be important, especially on ACLs side, which is critical before an official release.

                                            Then, we could work on the UI directly, for the 5.1 ie:

                                            • adding more dataviz
                                            • improve current UI (CSS animation, avoid some non-finished/"ugly")

                                            This would be a long process because the difference with a "rough" UI and a polished (details, transitions, animations) could cost a lot of work.
