[jira] [Created] (KNOX-1865) Admin UI Provider Config Forms need Tooltips/Help Text

Larry McCay created KNOX-1865:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Admin UI Provider Config Forms need Tooltips/Help Text
                 Key: KNOX-1865
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-1865
             Project: Apache Knox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: AdminUI
            Reporter: Larry McCay
             Fix For: 1.3.0


While the Provider Configuration pages in the UI are a nicer experience than having to hand edit XML for many people, for those that don't have the context of the configuration from prior knowledge of the underlying providers and what the params mean - many of the fields are ambiguous.

We need to provide at least some tooltips for some of the easier fields and perhaps a [?] link with more help than would be possible in a simple tooltip. Possibly linking to online docs in the user guide with more details would be good as well.
