967052 - Autophone - improve UI to handle large numbers of phones and repositories

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing Graveyard :: Autophone, defect)

Description

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown]]

Wow, there are a lot of phones reporting autophone data now. That's great, and yet...the dashboard is becoming very hard to read. Of course you can filter out results, but that's a bit tedious.

Can we do something to make phonedash.mozilla.org more readable? 

Perhaps split the phones into groups of 10, with a graph for each group??

Yeah, I have plans to do this, just hadn't filed a bug on it yet.

This isn't a fix for the overly complicated UI, but does make the tooltips more useful. e.g.

gbrown: how far do you think bug 1260824 comment 51 has gone to improve the situation? Would you consider this "fixed"?

I had a little trouble getting a good-looking graph on phonedash.mozilla.org this morning, but I love the check-box selections and the wide selection of filtering options. And I don't have any specific suggestions for further improvements, so...

Let me know what kind of problems you had and I'll see about what we can do. I think it is partially a poor choice of defaults on my part and a current lack of documentation of how to choose the right options.
