Ui: History view
Hello All,
Below is a link to a description of a minor ui update we're calling history view. This will allow you to rollover the breadcrumb and view the panel information without needing to click on the corresponding breadcrumb.

As always, feedback is appreciated.
Thanks You and Best Regards,

Same opinion here - at best distracting - at worst I fear we'll get
bugs filed because it still shows the 'action' buttons, but per the
description it would disappear before you navigated to them, and would
never be clickable.

I like the 'glass' border effect....
Not sure I like the 'history' windows style hover panal.

Hello John,
This was more of a ux addition. It's similar in how you get a preview thumbnail in the taskbar in windows 7 when you rollover an item; but for individual panels. There is a timeout period that should avoid instant popups and annoyance.

Thanks for the feedback all.
-We can rework the name to make more sense, perhaps panel preview.
-I like the glass effect too.
-We will investigate this more in terms of being able to select items from the preview. For now this is to help with usability in the manner that Jessica mentioned.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks You and Best Regards,

Hi Sonny,
I have 3 comments on it.
First, I like the way this lets me drill down without actually clicking. It is easier to quickly browse around the detail panels from one place. Users complain about getting lost in too many levels and having to click too much, and this combats that.
Second, I'm not sure "history view" describes it. To me, the feature is looking into the future -- what would happen if I clicked this breadcrumb?
-- rather than the past. I'd call it a preview, or "instant details" view, or something like that.
Third, I agree with David that seeing the buttons in the popup is confusing. Users will expect to be able to click them. Is there a way to erase them before display?
