-## 1. Pagination
+## Layout
-Set how many VMs you want to see on a page and scroll through the pages.
+The layout of the instance overview serves several functions.
-## 2. Filter
+#### Pagination
-Filter the list of VMs:
+The pagination allows you to adjust how many VMs you want to see on a page and scroll through the pages.
-- By username
-- By project name
-- By a users Elixir ID
-- By an OpenStack VM ID
-- By vm name
-- By flavor name
+#### Filter
-Click `Filter`.
+You are able to filter the shown VMs as follows:
-## 3. Action on many machines
+- A string search, which filters machines by name, the name of the project it is part of, the OpenStack ID of the machine or the username.
+- Machine state, e.g. only showing active machines
+- When having the corresponding permissions, you can also filter by permission type: See your own machines, or also the ones you are allowed to so within your project.
-Trigger an action on all selected virtual machines.
-`Select all` or `select` specific machines.
+The list of machines is adjusted by clicking on "Apply".
-## 4. General information
+#### Deletion of selected machines
-See the name, the status, the project, and the creator of the virtual machine.
-Click on the name to get to the [Detail page](instance_detail.md).
-## 5. Descriptive icons
+Either all or specific machines can be selected by clicking on the checkbox in front of the machine state-indicator and name.
+All selected machines can then be deleted by clicking on "Delete Selected".
-Get a quick overview of the configuration:
+#### Base Information
-* See the amount of volumes mounted to the vm.
-* See the installed research environment and whether it installed correctly.
- Hover to read the name.
- Click the icon to copy the URL of your browser-based research environment.
-* See the amount of conda tools installed on the virtual machine at launch and whether they installed correctly.
+Each machines is represented by a seperate clickable component.
+The header of the component shows the following information on first glance:
-## 6. Flavor and Image
+- **Machine status**
+- **Machine name**
+- **Descriptive Icons**
+
The icons allow you to get a quick overview of further machine configurations:
-Which flavor and image the virtual machine runs on.
+ - See the amount of volumes mounted to the vm.
+ - See the installed research environment and whether it installed correctly. Clicking the icon copies the URL of your browser-based research environment into your clipboard.
+ - See the amount of conda tools installed on the virtual machine at launch and whether the installation was successful.
-## 7. Virtual machine detail page
+- **Creation date**
-Go to the virtual machine [detail page](instance_detail.md).
-## 8. How to connect
+#### Further Details and actions
-Get commands and information on how to connect to your virtual machine.

-
-1. The commands you find here differ depending on the chosen configuration.
-2. Click to copy only the command, not the descriptive text.
-
-## 9. Action on one machine
-
-Perform actions on the machine.
-Depending on the status, you only see a selection of actions.
![actions](./img/instance_overview/instance_overview_actions.png)
-###### Attach Volume
-
-Attach an existing volume. This action shows when the machine is active and running.
-
-###### Detach Volume
-
-Detach an attached volume. This action shows when the machine is active and running.
-
-###### Stop VM
-
-Shutoff the virtual machine.
-
-???+ info "Resource usage"
- A vm in “SHUTOFF” state still consumes resources.
-
-###### Reboot VM
-
-Soft or hard reboot the virtual machine.
-A soft reboot attempts a graceful shut-down and restart of the instance.
-A hard reboot power cycles the instance.[^1]
-
-###### Create snapshot
-
-Take a snapshot of the virtual machine.
-You, or a project member, can boot a new virtual machine from it.
-For more information on snapshots, see [here](./snapshots.md).
-
-###### Delete VM
-Delete the virtual machine.
-Any attached volume gets detached and not deleted.
+By clicking on the header of a specific machine listed, a more detailed description of the machine is shown.
+This includes the following information:
+- **Flavor and Image**
+- **Project**
+- **User in charge of the machine**
+- **Connection information for SSH and link to Research Environment access, if available**
-???+ warning "Backup your data"
- All data on the machine gets deleted. Make sure to back up data you can't lose.
- See [here](backup.md) for backup recommendations.
+This detailed area also includes action buttons, which allow you to quickly control the instance via the overview.
+For example, the VM can be stopped or restarted. Snapshots can be created and the machine can be deleted.
+All actions are asked to be confirmed.
-###### Resume/Restart VM
-Boot up the "SHUTOFF" virtual machine.
+The overview also has buttons that lead to the details page of the instance. This is divided into different areas, which can be accessed directly using the buttons. This includes a summary of the machine, volume management, port settings, information and settings for the research environment, user management and an event log.
