User Interface Problems
Unwanted VCM behaviors often reveal themselves in the user interface, but the user interface is rarely the
root cause.
Common problems directly associated with the user interface are often display anomalies. Duplicate
columns in the data grid, inappropriately enabled or disabled fields, and poor formatting are all examples
of user interface problems. In this example, the root nodes of a report are incorrectly compressed into a
space that is too narrow.
