I’ve just gone and attempted to take what other people have wished and wrapped it into some of my recent work.
Login to view mockups…
Sort, search, and edit in-line.
Quickly toggle whether application activity should be logged or not.
Simplified application name for more novice users.
Quickly toggle, via drop-down, through various policies.
Import or export just a single set of rules.
Sort, search, and edit in-line, for rules in a rule set.
Table view, allowing for more powerful sorting and in-line editing.
In the event that a rule is added, removed, or changed under a predefined, block all, allow all, or ask all policy, the policy type for the application will change to “custom”.
This should go without saying but each column can be shown or hidden via right-click menu, allowing the user to customize their UI to their liking.
I like the general idea but what is the default view, collapsed or expanded. If collapsed, the ‘Treat As’ needs an indicator for mixed/custom rules. For example, I have application that’s allowed access to the LAN but is prevented from connecting to the Internet. That aside, it’s vastly better than CIS 6 currently.
Allow All - Green check and “Allow All” (as shown in images)
Block All - Red x-mark and “Block All” (as shown in images)
Ask All - Yellow question mark and “Ask All” (not currently shown)
Predefined Ruleset - Blue “P” and “[name of ruleset]” (as shown in images)
Custom ruleset - Blue “C” and “Custom” (not currently shown)
Good grief what on earth are you trying to achieve…?
It looks a confusing mess.
Please leave the GUI to the developers and stop with this nonsense. >:-D
… I am, and have been, leaving the GUI to the developers. It’s wholly up to them whether they take anything from these mock-ups.
That said… these are works in progress and I do agree they are currently rather messy. The goal from this point, barring suggestions for more functionality, is to cut down on the clutter.
