IBM App Connect Enterprise Web UI improvements

We would like that the Web UI for IBM App Connect Enterprise could be configured for different needs. I have full respect for that there are different preferences for how a UI should work and look like.

Todays web UI (ACE v11.0.0.5) tends to be hard to work with if you have deployed more resources than just a couple. It would be good if there was a more condensed format so that you are able to see more without having to click around to much. Maybe a more classical view similar to what you have in the toolkit.

    Thank you for taking the time to raise this RFE. As you say, there are different preferences regarding the visuals for administrative UIs. Certainly, there were specific aims in our design choices for ACEv11 we certainly introduced more "white space" in the tile-views adopted in the web UI layout than there had been in the more tree-view focus applied to the IIBv10 web UI. In part, our aims here were to align separate software products in the IBM integration portfolio to have a closer more similar look and feel, and to create similarities between the dashboards we use in our public cloud, private cloud (container) and traditional software offerings. This has resulted in a design language which aims to be more inclusive of users who perhaps have less of a detailed coding background and would prefer simpler stylings. That said, your feedback is helpful to us and I'm sure our Design team will be interested to see that there is still a section of our userbase that prefers the more detailed/condensed views, especially when handling very large integration estates. Given this, we are updating the status of this RFE to Uncommitted Candidate.
