Consolidate all Teststand settings in one form & different improvents

Status: New

Hi NI Teststand developers

Don’t you find it hard setting up Teststand with all the different settings possible, scattered in al the different locations?

 

Why is it not possible to put all this settings in one form with tabs. (like in MS VisualStudio)

Especially the Cfg directory is  packet with possible stumbling rocks.
This improvement includes the configuration menu.

 

I usually spend a lot of time just setting up TS. When finally arriving in the deployment state. I stumble again trough this setting forgetting important things because they are scattered throughout Teststand.

 

It would be an immense improvement of the TS usability

 

 

If you start improving this, don’t forget to adjust the editable field sizes of forms etc., so they can be read and edited in a practical way.

 

Another thing I find not really user friendly, is the form settings lock. When I try to load a workspace and the lock is set (worked in TS2019), I get an error. Why this?

 

It would be nice to hear your statement to this,  and when you find time to improve this.
If you need more improvement hints  (there are some more) , don’t hesitate to contact me.
