UX Enhancement for Middleware Override Workflow.

[nihal467]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, when the middleware of an asset is taken from the facility configuration page or location management page, the middleware field is auto-filled as a placeholder. By hovering over the exclamation button, the user can understand from which page this middleware is pre-filled.

However, new users are raising concerns that they are finding it difficult to understand the priority-based asset middleware overrides. For example, the middleware specified in the asset configuration is given the highest priority, followed by location management, and lastly, the facility configuration

Describe the solution you'd like

• [ ] When the asset configuration is pre-filled from the location management or facility page, instead of making the user hover over the exclamation mark, add fine text below the input box, along with the pre-filled middleware placeholder, to provide details about the middleware's source.

• [ ] Implement a similar pre-filling behavior in the placeholder and fine text for the location management edit page.
• [ ] In the location creation form, under the middleware field, add fine text indicating that if left blank, the facility middleware will be applied to assets.

• [ ] In the location management card, display the facility configuration middleware with a "Pre-filled Facility Middleware" badge if no middleware is set for the location.

• [ ] Under the facility configuration middleware field, add fine text stating that the facility middleware will be applied to all assets when asset and location middleware are Unspecified.

Note:

• In the relevant places, Try to add the facility name or location in the fine text so users can easily understand the exact source, rather than a general fine text message.
• The attached UI is a sample mock-up for reference. Feel free to share the proper UI mock-up on the issue before starting work on it.
