Hi Rahul -

The Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) for the Dashboard are found here:
https://github.com/nebula/horizon-design/blob/master/HIG/OpenStack_HIG.rst
I don't think it has all the answers to your questions but I wanted to
be sure you had this document as a reference. The document can then be
updated

reaches the end of the currently visible content) or pagination (the

for these screens should be designed to allow the user to view the
full range of content groups on the screen."

Gabriel can probably elaborate more.

See https://github.com/nebula/horizon-design/blob/master/HIG/OpenStack_HIG.rst#id41

Sorry I don't have more details for the rest of your questions but did
want to point out the HIG and the process it entails for blueprints
and such.

Have fun!
