Title: Quota Setup UI is Unclear
Post by: perradise on November 27, 2009, 08:32:34 PM
I just setup user quotas on my DNS-323.  I noticed that with quotas turned on, in the Quota Status box, it says "Status: Started" but the button says "Disabled".  This seems contradictory.  FW = 1.06.

It is a button so if you press it it will be disabled. The status will state if it is started or stopped.

That's that I mean.  The button should say "Disable", meaning click on me to disable quotas.  But instead, it says "Disabled" which could mean click on me to disable quotas, or it could mean I'm currently disabled and you should click on me to enable quotas.

You should change "Disabled" to "Disable" and change "Enabled" to "Enable".  Then there would be no ambiguity.

I just looked, and I agree, a simple change of a letter would be better.  Even better would be a statement that Quotas are currently (enabled/disabled) on the page.

I concur and would like to see this change as well.

There is a status statement showing stopped or started above the button. Dont get me wrong I agree it could be done better.

Correct ECF, I glossed right over that.  I guess the real confusion could result in just the wording on the button. 

Mine says:

Status:      Stopped

The button says:

Enabled

I revise my comment to say that just saying Enable or Disable would probably do the trick.  The way it is now, it appears the button is disagreeing with the status.  An easy change the next time they are tinkering with the text. :)
