Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2016-05-18 17:42:19 CEST
1. Surf to your tlwebadm service at https://tl.example.com:1010/desktop/appgroups
2. Click on any of the application group names to expand that application group. 
3. Search in vain for a way to close the application group details.

I expected to find a button or link to close the details of the group I was looking at.

On the page with the details, we show the same list as on the URL in step 1, but with the selected group expanded with details. This made me hesitate to use the back button, because it wasn't obvious that I would have ended up on the list of application groups again. Expanding and contracting list items like these usually doesn't require a new page request on the web these days - just some JavaScript back-and-forth.

Had I landed on a page that just had the details for the application group, I would have used the back button without hesitation, since the context switched from "list of groups" to "details for specific group".

This could be a problem for more list/details in tlwebadm. If I find more, I'll move this bug to a more generic component and widen the scope.

A non-exhaustive search through tlwebadm identified the list of profiles, terminals, and locations as sharing the same behavior.
