@JeGr
Thanks for the reply, I appreciate you taking the time, although I'm not convinced by the argument.
I still think that its inconsistent.
If there were a "lease configuration" tab and a "lease status" tab then I could possibly consider the argument that this was designed with a particular philosophy rather than evolved over time with development of the product.
From a interface design point of view
1. Having a tab called "[LAN]" which contains nothing, not even a blank placeholder, when there are no configured leases, and (which I can find) no way of creating a new static lease even when populated.
2. A tab called "Leases" which allows both static and dynamically allocated leases; the latter of which can be deleted or edited to be converted into static (or be edited to create new but different static rules).
Is not a clean differentiation of status and configuration as the current "lease" page is a mixture of the two, and the "[LAN]" tab doesn't allow all configuration options.
Given that there is a filter option on the bottom of the "lease" page (why filters aren't at the top is another UI mystery to me given the potential size of the list) that was where I looked to see if I could filter only on Static and get into an editing page since the "lease" page was the only place I had been able to create static leases.
If the reason for not offering an edit or delete button on static leases in the "leases" tab is confusion then a recycle button, a trash button and a pen button would be far less confusing than splitting the functionality over two tabs in my view.
Anyway this is off topic and I'm pleased I found the answer, and knowing that I can do what I need to. :-)
Thanks again all.
