On the tooltip: the schema one is better:
But even this one, if you click it, it should go away -- you shouldn't have to click the "I" button again.
Remaining issues require rework of views and will take longer to implement.
Views suggestions
The interface for adding a view right now is not explained anywhere, and is unintuitive. It could be either:
For removing/selecting a view: I find it unintuitive that the Default is "No view", which you get by "Closing" the view. Instead, I find it more intuitive if the default is one of the view options. So, under "Select a view", I should be able to select "No view" or "Default view" or "Entire table", instead of having to click the "x" to "remove" the view.
The tooltip is annoying me. it comes up literally every time I mouse over the views button. It also doesn't disappear when I click it. It should disappear when I click it. It should be triggered by a little "info/help" button" instead of a mouseover? I suggest we start to add little question marks with circles (?) and when you click that, you get a little explainer.
Minor concern, but ideally, "Add View" and "Remove View" should be Tabs in the modal, rather than vertical
Minor concern: There's no mechanism to edit the description of a view. Maybe this is for the future.
It's strange to me that the view cannot be edited by the HandsOnTable interface.
Right now, opening a view makes the table read-only. This doesn't make sense to me; the view should allow editing of a subset of the files. That is kind of the point, to allow us to see and interact with just a few of the samples.
