Original status: 1-Dispatched; Suggested Status: NEW Original Target Release: shortfin_dev; Suggested Target Milestone : 5.5 Original submitter: joellelam Description: There is an inconsistency in the tooltip naming of some of the components. -------------- Currently: * Grid Panel=Table that organizes child components into a grid * NGroup Panel=Organizes child components in a flow with an optional separater between them * Layout Panel=Organizes its child components using flow or absolute positioning Recommendation: 1 Modify Grid Panel to say "Organies child components into a grid" 2 MOdify Group Panel by removing "between them". This is redundant with "separater ------------------- Currently: * Page Separator=A horizontal page separator line * Tab Set=A container for a set of Tab components * Tab=A single tab specified as part of a TabSet component * Page Alert=Layout for a full page alert including title, action buttons and optional input components * Property Sheet=Represents a PropertySheet * Property Sheet Section=Represents a PropertySheet section. * Property=Represents a Property * Form=Represents an input form whose contents may be submitted by the user, or via a client side script. Recommendation: * Decide to use "Represents a SOMETHING" or just "A SOMETHING" Description (Entry 2): A few more inconsistencies: Advanced Category: * Link=An implementation... * Meta=This is an implementation... * Script=This is an implementation... * Markup=This component... * Load Bundle=A Evaluation: Recommendation 1 and 2 are fine in my opinion. About the next recommendation (...to use "Represents a SOMETHING" or just "A SOMETHING"...) I'd get rid of the represents and try to replace it with more descriptive text, like e.g. "Panel where a user can view and modify values of properties". Evaluation (Entry 2): Dusan, should we sent this back over to the components team to come up with a more descriptive name?
