Readable Session Variables

Completed

As a solution builder, on the session variable action panel's input tab, I want to better see the session variable names. Currently, at a 100% zoom the font is too smal, making to difficult to see them.

Benefit is happier solution builders without strained eyes.

Acceptance criteria is that session variable names can easily be read on a 27" monitor with a QHD resolution at 100% zoom.

Priority is low.

  Hi Peter,

  Thank you, the request has been logged with Hugh,

  Hi Peter, have you tried pressing the "1:1" button in the top right of the panel?  This will zoom the model to 100%.  There is also a button to fit to page on the right hand side of the status bar.

  Can only back up Peter here. I've probably almost trained around 100 people in MooD now, and every time I get that comment around the variable names being really small, and I say "You can just zoom in", but it is a lot of zooming in and out when you're doing lots of modelling.

  Matt,

  I usually work with a 27" monitor, where zoom to fit for models is about 130%. The session variable names are still horribly small. Most of the time I cannot really read them, but I make a guess based on the shape of the word.

  Also, because we place the session variable control outside the model boundary, you need to first zoom out to select and flip it, and then zoom in to be able to read the variable names. Cumbersome and annoying - there has to be a better way to do this.

  I've discussed this with the Product Owner and we've decided to make a story in the backlog for consideration.

   

  We would want to provide a generic mechanism to work for all flipsides.  If all flipsides were scaled up by the current system magnification setting would that be adequate? For example, my laptop has a native resolution of 3840x2160 and a recommended magnification setting of 250%.  So when the model canvas zoom is set to 100% all flipsides would be scaled up by 250% and would still grow and shrink with the model canvas zoom.

  Kevin,

  This sounds like a good idea. However, this would require that MooD works with a Windows magnification setting of anything else but 100%. I'm supprised to hear that can work with a 250% maginification. This is a different issue though, so lets not discuss it here - I'll submit a new request for this.

  -Peter

  The issue with unreadable session variables seem to be fixed in build 32. I do not know if this is the result of the general UI update or special attending was paid to this issue.

  Glad to hear the issue has been gone away.  We didn't specifically fix it but we are making high DPI improvements as we go along.
