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." > UI -Tooltip - Lengthy and inconsistent description among toolips > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CLOUDSTACK-1285 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1285 > Project: CloudStack > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the > default.) > Components: Doc, UI > Affects Versions: 4.1.0 > Environment: RHEL 6.3 Build#15 > Reporter: Parth Jagirdar > Priority: Minor > Attachments: 3.jpg, 4.jpg > > > "A unique name for the template.
