[jira] [Updated] (CLOUDSTACK-1432) Inconsistent field names in "Add Cluster" dialog

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1432?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Mike Tutkowski updated CLOUDSTACK-1432:
---------------------------------------

    Description: 
Go into the "Add Cluster" dialog.

Notice the field name "Cluster Name" has the word "Name" in it, but "Zone" and "Pod" do not.

I believe it would be nicer from a usability standpoint if we were consistent in how we describe fields (in this case, either use "Name" in all three places or in none of those places).

This is probably a larger issue than just on this dialog.

*** Later Edit ***

On the "Add Primary Storage" dialog, we say "Cluster" (not "Cluster Name"), "Zone", and "Pod".

We might actually want to change "Cluster Name" to "Name" since on the "Add Primary Storage" dialog, we use the word "Name" with implicit reference to what we're creating (we don't say "Primary Storage Name").
