Original status: 7-Fix in Progress; Suggested Status: STARTED Original Target Release: mako_dev; Suggested Target Milestone : Dev These items should be added to the Keywords: USABILITY Description: Some test participants did not understand the difference between the Application Outline and the Project Navigator. Some used mainly one of the two, ignoring the other. Others used both, but seemed to be looking for the same things in them, e.g., pages, source code, components. The distinction between these two hierarchies may be too subtle. xxx@xxxx 2004-07-12 xxx@xxxx 2004-09-15 Evaluation: Need to work with Jeff on this. Will try to schedule for Mako, however an intermediate step would be re-writing the AO using NB APIs. xxx@xxxx 2004-09-15 Changing to an RFE. xxx@xxxx 2004-11-06 00:31:33 GMT Evaluation (Entry 2): This is hopefully fixed now. Not in the way that the outline is merged with the project navigator -- that will be very hard to address. But we have renamed it the "Outline" and it only shows the file contents for the -current- file. This makes it a bit clearer it's not showing the whole project. It -is- unfortunately showing a couple of other managede beans (session, request, application) to make it easy to drag & drop things like rowsets and dataproviders into scoped beans. Suggested Fix: Consider merging these two into one hierarchy. xxx@xxxx 2004-07-12
