Server Feedback Version 5.9.5

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share some feedback regarding the recent changes to the schedule settings view in EasyMorph Server, specifically since the update to version 5.9.5.

While the new schedule settings interface makes it easier to adjust the schedule times, this change is not ideal for our use case. Our users need to manually trigger jobs on the EasyMorph Server page, but they should not be tempted to alter the scheduled executions. The previous version of the schedule settings was much more compact and user-friendly. It allowed users to quickly set up and manage their schedules without the risk of unintentionally modifying planned executions.

Additionally, the new layout has significantly increased the page length, making it less organized and harder to navigate. The compact view of the previous version was much more efficient and visually appealing.

Given this feedback, I would like to propose a potential solution: Could we have the option to choose between the new and the old schedule settings views in the admin settings? This way, users who prefer the simplicity and clarity of the previous version can continue to use it, while those who appreciate the new features can take advantage of them.

This dual-option approach would cater to the diverse needs of our user base and ensure that everyone can work efficiently without unnecessary frustration. It would also help in gradually transitioning users to the new interface without overwhelming them with sudden changes.

Best regard
Chris

Hello Chris,

We are considering upgrading our server to the new version. Would you mind sharing some screenshots (without any confidential data) so we can get an idea of how the new layout looks?
While we don’t allow users to self-schedule any tasks, I was a bit concerned to read your comment about it being less organized and harder to navigate.

Thanks and best regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

While the core content and functionality of the schedule settings remain largely unchanged, the primary issue lies in the display. The new layout has extended the page length, significantly reducing the number of jobs visible on the screen at one time. This makes it more challenging to get an overview of all scheduled tasks at a glance.

I would be happy to share a screenshot (without any confidential data) to give you a clearer idea of how the new layout looks. This should help you determine whether the changes might impact your workflow.

"For all specific changes, I recommend checking the release notes."

Best regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for sharing. I'll make a test on a separate server before upgrading.

Best regards,
Chris

The permission system didn't change, but the tasks do indeed look different. Thank you for sharing your feedback! We will think about how to address it.
