Description

@ClaudioESSilva

Which component(s) does this affect?

  • Full Dashboard
  • Lite
  • SQL collection scripts
  • Installer
  • Documentation

Problem Statement

The main difference between both version in terms of functionality is the "Microsoft Entra MFA" option (which may make use of the "Database" option at the bottom) and the "Enable data collection for this server".

In general, I really like the "Add Server" window on the Lite version.
Is slick, clean, good order of the options, and doesn't have scroll bars.

VS
The Dashboard version that has textboxes with different formats, the username/password are always visible, and the "Connection Security" options are hidden at the bottom

Here they are side-by-side:

Proposed Solution

In the Dashboard version, I would start by moving the "Connection Security" options right after the "Password".
Maybe, in both, make the window resizable or at least, in the Dashboard version, with a bigger max height.

Use Case

This can make the action of adding a server a better and more consistent experience.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Additional Context

If you agree with this, I can build a PoC with these (and other) suggestions, and then we discuss if it makes sense/is better or not.
