[Device Status Screen] - Improvement in texts about sending and receiving data

[georgevbsantiago]

• Show legend when hovering the mouse over the container: "Device to Server" and "Server to Device". Only the images of clouds and arrows are not enough for a quick understanding of the information. The reference point for interpreting whether data is being sent and received is relative (and creates ambiguity). If the User interprets the reference point to be the Server, then "Sent Data" and ""Received Data" will have a direction. But if the User interprets the reference point to be the Device, then "Sent Data" and "" Received Data" will have a different direction (in this example, the cloud icon with the [up or down] arrow gives ambiguous interpretations). For this reason, it would be important to make it clearer by inserting subtitles such as: "Device to Server" and "Server to Device". With these subtitles, there is no ambiguity as indicated above.

Another possibility would be to replace the term "Transmitted Data" with "Uplink (Device to Server)". And the term "Received Data" by "Downlink (Server to Device)" . I think this option is the best terminology.

• "Bytes Sent" (in the graph) is in blue color, but the container "Received Data" is also blue. Is this not contradictory? Should "Bytes Sent" be a different color?

• Adjust the text "Transmitted Data" with the text "Bytes Sent". Wouldn't it be better to replace "Transmitted Data" with "Sent Data" in the container text?

In my opinion, the best terminology option:

Instead of the cloud icon with the [up and down] arrow (The current design is confusing and ambiguous), the image could be more explicit, as in the suggestion below. The user, when viewing the texts (Uplink, Downlink) and the image, will immediately understand the data flow.
