[jira] [Commented] (CLOUDSTACK-1285) UI -Tooltip - Lengthy and inconsistent description among toolips

["Jessica Tomechak (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13579714#comment-13579714 ] 

Jessica Tomechak commented on CLOUDSTACK-1285:
----------------------------------------------

The guideline we used for the first round of tooltips was 100 characters maximum. "A name for the zone" is too short. It tells you nothing useful - just restates the name of the field. Knowing what the name will be used for is helpful. Knowing whether this is a new name you're supposed to come up with yourself, vs. a name that has to match some already-existing value, is also helpful. The advice about best practices for choosing a good name might admittedly be overkill. I'd suggest something in between, like "Give the new template a name. This name will be visible to users."

>  "A unique name for the template. This will be visible to users, so choose something descriptive" ; I think 94 Characters are too much for a ToolTip representing name. (Screen 4)
> And is also inconsistent with other tooltips for names which are more concise and simple such as "A name for the Zone". (Refer to Screen 4 and compare it to Screen 3)
