Composer cart UI update

Summary

We have made three types of changes to make the composer cart page more intuitive:

  1. We gave buttons more descriptive names, so you can more easily understand their behaviour;
  2. We have relocated buttons and fields, so all required information is at the left, and all optional processes are at the right;
  3. We have removed fields from view that have not been useful anymore in the past.

Cart form

This form now contains all essential settings and steps of your composer cart. Fields that have not been useful in the past years have been moved to the Settings tab.

Generate suggestions & Checks

We gave buttons more descriptive names and separated them in their own forms, to clearly indicate what they do, and that they’re optional buttons. The following names have been changed:

  • Create update suggestion based on
    • → (Generate suggestions) Update to latest revisions with status
    • → (Generate suggestions) Update based on another composition
  • Check configuration → (Generate suggestions) Reference architecture dependencies
  • Check rules → (Checks) Component sequence rules
  • Check status → (Checks) Component statuses and architect versions
  • Check plug-ins → (Checks) Plug-in compatibility

Moved buttons


Removed buttons and fields

While the functionality remains available on the “Production order” and “Advanced” tabs, these fields and buttons have been moved out of view to prevent noise and/or confusion.

New button “To-do items”

While the process behind this button is not new, as it was already available under the tile “To-do items”, and part of the executed checks before deploying your composition, we have added the button “To-do items” to Checks to make the presence of this check better known.
