Product Integration

andreasn edited this page Nov 16, 2016 · 1 revision

The ideals of Cockpit says that "Users of Cockpit should feel they are interacting with the underlying Server OS, not with Cockpit." so Cockpit should only be used as a project name, and not visible to the end user.

Hence, when integrating with Cockpit from another management UI, that has the ability to access a Cockpit session, it should not be called Cockpit there either.

Recommendations

  • Use a button labelled with the verb "Access Web Console" (note: Headline Case)
  • If there are several ways to access a host, such as RDP, Spice etc. Put those in a dropdown labeled "Access" and then present the different actions in the dropdown.
