      Subject: UI/UX Suggestion: Disabled "Apply Recommendations" Button Lacks Informative Tooltip

       


       

      Overview

       

      During sanity testing of the ROS plugin (v1.2.0), a minor user experience issue was identified. The "Apply Recommendations" button is correctly disabled when a prerequisite workflow is not present. However, the button lacks a tooltip to explain to the user why the action is unavailable.

       

      Problem Detail

       

      A user cannot distinguish the reason for the disabled state. This creates ambiguity, as the button could be inactive for several reasons, such as:

      1. The required workflow is missing.
      1. The user's permissions under Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) are insufficient.

      This lack of feedback can lead to user confusion and unnecessary troubleshooting steps.

       

      Recommendation

       

      Implement a dynamic tooltip for the "Apply Recommendations" button. This tooltip should appear on hover and clearly state the specific reason the button is disabled.

      • Example for Missing Workflow: "Action unavailable: The required workflow is not present."
      • Example for RBAC Restriction: "Action unavailable: You do not have the necessary permissions to apply recommendations."

      This small enhancement would significantly improve clarity and provide valuable, context-sensitive feedback to the user.
