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:
- The required workflow is missing.
- 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.
