OOD Interface - Where to we start?

[mreekie]

The approach we take to creating an improved OOD interface impacts when we can start the migration.

Assertion: The current sentiment Is that some change to the UI will need to take place before we start the migration in earnest.

Point of view:

• reduce pain to the user
• reduce pain to the support staff.

Big Picture Choices. What are the phases to improving the the phase approach to the UI? Each of the three approaches on the table have trade-offs and a different set up phases.

First choice - is what is in use today but branded veneer ?

Evan - simplified interface. Seems good. The questiion is how to get it to a place where it can be put into production in a supportable fashion? How Long?

OOD Simplified interface approach - FAS RC wants to roll this out this summer (Just learned 6/22/20). How different is this from what Evan is working on? Is this good enough path to move forward? This is a PRB funded effort that FAS RC has been planning to do.

Risk of all approaches is that we also need to be able so show progress. What if all three approaches take

Current thoughts in discussion with Len and Sarah:

It may make sense to drop the July 6th attempt to get a first small step at the veneer if the FAS RC team is going to roll out the OOD simplified interface.

The next step is to discover with Raminder and Scott exactly what their plans are iwth this. Can we help them with that instead of doing the Veneer work?

We are meeting with Raminder today to find out more about the OOD simplified interface

Francesco put a link to the Trello board in the Slack Channel: @Erik, this is the OOD trello board for the upcoming releases https://trello.com/b/ksr1g141/open-ondemand-ideas-and-dev . If you click on the "launch interface redesign" you can see a mockup of how it will look like

It doesn’t show the whole workflow. What does the user see after clicking on on of the items? Reading the text, I think you end up at the same screen as you would if you click an item in the menu (in the current UI). Do you expect this as well?

Do the favorites they mention also include standard settings for the user (number of CPU, memory etc)?
