The layer column, which contains the name of the layer from the chosen data service, is currently the last column in the table and on the initial install of the plugin, it is outside the visible extent of the table. The user needs to either change the column widths or use a scroll bar to see this column.

I think that the table would be more user friendly if these changes were made:

  • the "layer" column should probably be second (after the "domain") and renamed to "layer name"
  • the "service" column could be removed, as its duplicating information - you're already on the WMTS tab, you don't need to know that all of the layers you're seeing are WMTS
  • is the "type" column useful, in what context does it not say "layer"?
  • the "id" column could then be third

  • Agreed with header name "layer" > "layer name"
  • The layer name is the last column as the layer names can be very long. This allows the name to overflow of screen to the right and users rezised or scroll right to see this. by being far right this stop layer name cramping everything else to the right and of the screen (or me setting a max length for this column)
    * it sounds like there are some max width issue on the other columns causing confusion - I will investigate

the "service" column could be removed, as its duplicating information - you're already on the WMTS tab, you don't need to know that all of the layers you're seeing are WMTS

  • This is for when the user is on the "ALL" tab. When this is selected all service protocols are shown. Use case -> User has "ALL" selected, filters on 'Road', wms, wfs, wmts layers are returned. They need protocol info shown to understand what they are importing (vector vs raster and so on)

is the "type" column useful, in what context does it not say "layer"?

  • There are tables, layers and sets indicated here

the "id" column could then be third

  • I see what you are getting at. This should be next to layer name - I will do this.

Thanks for the feedback
TO DO

  • move "id" column to abut "layer name"
  • rename "layer" header to "layer name"
  • set max column width
