Description Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-06-28 03:51:22 UTC
Several of the icons still only show a blank white sheet, Design team should create more meaningful ones fur use in the assistant.

@Christoph:
can you help?
Comment 2 Christoph 2012-06-30 11:55:19 UTC
Hi Rainer, thanks for the ping - my personal view: I think that adding new icons won't fix the root issue of step 2 "Component" of the BSA. Rationale: Icons are efficient and effective when used repetitively whilst being rather unique. In the BSA case, we need new icons that might look rather similar.

The information / interaction provided in step 2 is complex and sometimes inaccurate. Examples:
* Component "Documentation" is visualized as "Master Document" icon
* Component "PDF Export" uses "Printer Management" icon but misses any info text (right side) - there is just a tooltip
* The drop down list contains all components, but misses to provide further information

Thus, I suggest to incorporate some ideas from the interaction design proposal I've made initially. It focuses on a few main components (incl. icons - hopefully well known), the remaining components are text entries plus info texts. Please see:

Hope this helps ...

Cheers,
Christoph

Do we want to keep all components in icons? Or do we want less icons and only give the big components a icon and the rest only in the selection-box?

Some Ideas

(In reply to comment #3)
Good point. I agree, we have reached a limit, to add more icons would become too complex and unclear. But currently I do not see reasons to reduce number of icons.

Attached you find some vague ideas not thought for direct use.

I don't really see where this is going. Attached icons are imo not really useable. Much to detailed and wouldn't fit with the existing ones.

If someone has a nice idea, let's re-open otherwise I don't consider it a problem not having an icon for each component.

Hovering over the icons + the available dropdown list should cover this problem more than enough.
