Entity Details Widget - (UX) Avoid hiding property values unless necessary
M
Mark Tarry
When the Entity Details widget is embedded on a dashboard with only 3-column width, it often hides property values behind a
+1
indicator.While this is great for telling the user there is more information available, these aren't interactable - i.e. the user cannot click on them to find out what's hidden.
It's made more frustrating by the fact that:
- The property keys take up much of the room
- There is so much "empty space" at the bottom of the widget
- The use of an inner horizontal scrollbar - which, after scrolling, reveals a +1
Workaround: the user clicks on the widget header to expand the details out into a wider view. This isn't obvious to all users - I've had to explain it to multiple users within our org.
