[Security Solution] UX issues with the Rules creation flow

[snide]

The Rules creation page is a stepped flow where certain early decisions change the possibilities for later decisions. Because of this it should use a more formalized step-based system for it's layout. Similar to involved patterns like Rollup Jobs within management, the suggestion would be to use EUI's horizontal step pattern which would allow the user to deal with each portion of the form in order.

This one could use some next steps and design thought.

Look in stack management for inspiration

Here's a pretty well designed multi-step form around rollup jobs in the management application. Note the following:

• Steps are disabled until you complete them
• The steps are clearly defined and present to let the user know what is coming up
• The two use of EuiDescribedFormGroup allows for more involved instruction for what is a complicated form.
• It is easy to switch to other parts of the form and be in edit mode
