UX: disabling autostart is difficult #3051

Problem

The user does not have a simple way to disable the Schedule and there may be errors associated with the changes to the schedule.

Definition of Done

A user should be able to quickly and obviously disable auto-start in the UI otherwise they may end up incurring infrastructure costs unintentionally.

Schedule.autostart.mov

Disabling autostart in the web UI is a bit painful. In order to do it, I need to

  1. Focus on Start Time Hours, hit backspace
  2. Focus on Start Time Minutes, hit backspace
  3. Focus on Start Time AM/PM, hit backspace
  4. Untick Monday
  5. Untick Tuesday
  6. Untick Wednesday
  7. Untick Thursday
  8. Untick Friday
  9. Submit

Also, after step 1 and before step 8, the field is marked as an error. This makes discoverability really low because I'm discouraged at step 1 from continuing on my journey to my goal, which is to disable autostart.

Possible solution

Top level checkbox for autostart. If I uncheck it, Start Time, Time Zone, and Days of the Week all go gray and uneditable.

Related issues for the errors are here: #1943 and #3097
