Adding service properties to interface is not intuitive #8

Closed Ynn closed 11 years ago

Ynn commented 11 years ago

+Adding service properties is not intuitive: I did not manage to add service properties to a newly created component at first. I successfully added a new service interface but did not figure how to add properties. I finally remembered that the user must use the right click on the service interface in that purpose.

+Also, the "Edit" button does not work for me (or i do not understand what it is suppose to do). I finally get it : it is made for editing service properties. Here againt, this is not intuitive at all.

+Finally the default value is not shown on when looking for service properties (it would be usefull)


The fact is that the gui is not intuitive on that part. Some hints are missing.

I have no real proposal to solve that problem. At least there should be no edit button (editing should be available via a contextual menu or double click).

A solution might be to add three new buttons (add property, remove property, edit property) below the two existing button that should be named "add interface", "remove interface").

We will wait for experiments on students to find a better way to manage service properties and check that it is not intuitive for them.
