NWAM UI Spec v1.7

December 22 2008

This document is a draft specification for Phase 1 of the NWAM project. As such, it is incomplete and subject to further modification prior to implementation.

If the document does not appear embedded below (Acrobat plugin required), you can download the PDF file from the revision history table at the bottom of this page.

Revision History

Revision	Description	Author	Date
1.7	Multiple changes to reflect latest version of NWAM Phase 1 functional spec. Primarily: support priority groups in network profile view; support conditional locations and ENMs; updated Security (previously IPfilter) and Network Services tab in Location Properties dialog. Task flow improvements: show wireless strength in notification icon; separate location switching and editing into different dialogs; pull condition editing out into a separate dialog rather than using expander widgets.	Calum Benson	2008 Dec 22
1.6	Incomplete update for internal review; not uploaded to website.	Calum Benson	2008 Oct 24
1.5	Changes as per proposal. Also: update icons to match preview of delivery from visual designers; some additional panel context menu re-arrangement (p2); notification balloon simplification (p4); addition of a more general "Repair" button in the status window (p7); layout changes to wireless-related menus and dialogs to accommodate icon delivery. Removed storyboard section at end of document until it can be properly updated to match spec (v1.5.1 reflects this change on the Contents page, which I forgot to update at the time-- there are no other changes in v1.5.1).	Calum Benson	2007 Nov 8
1.4	Applet redesign (now a single icon again), support switching environments and wireless networks manually, add Proxies tab to Environment dialog, remove hostname/domain/router controls until interaction with Duckwater name services management is clarified, simplify IPv6 controls, update available wireless security types, change 'preferred networks' to 'favorite networks'.	Calum Benson	2007 Jun 20
1.3	First version of this design posted to opensolaris.org. Separate out Environment dialog, add support for multiple IP addresses and VPN. Revised JDS applet design.	Calum Benson	2007 May 18
1.2	Numerous updates based on team comments.	Calum Benson	2007 Mar 26
1.1	First version of this design.	Calum Benson	2007 Mar 14
