Hi All,
I noted that the way to access to Edit screens from a item list is sometime not consistent: sometimes like here: https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/FindProductConfigItems there is the "Edit" button ONLY sometimes like here: https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/EditFeatureCategories there is the hyperlink on the ID ONLY sometimes like here: https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/FindProductStore there is BOTH the hyperlink AND the "Edit" button Could we agree with a standard so that we can fix it? I personally think that the Edit screen should always be available using the hyperlink on the Item Id or name (generally displayed in the first column). So I propose to get rid of the "Edit" buttons and adding the hyperlinks where there are not. What do you think about? -Bruno |

Though having them both everywhere could be good also, but maybe more refactoring work ? This because with only the id you may think that it's only to view, not to modify (even if from your report it seems the same, but is this true in all cases ?)

Many screens are already full of things. Why have two commands on the same
row to get to the same place? I will try to check all screens for a complete report. -Bruno 2008/9/9 Jacques Le Roux <[hidden email]> > +1 > > Though having them both everywhere could be good also, but maybe more > refactoring work ? > This because with only the id you may think that it's only to view, not to > modify (even if from your report it seems the same, but is this true in all > cases ?) > > Jacques > > From: "Bruno Busco" <[hidden email]> > > Hi All, >> I noted that the way to access to Edit screens from a item list is >> sometime >> not consistent: >> >> sometimes like here: >> https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/FindProductConfigItems >> there is the "Edit" button ONLY >> >> sometimes like here: >> https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/EditFeatureCategories >> there is the hyperlink on the ID ONLY >> >> sometimes like here: >> https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/FindProductStore >> there is BOTH the hyperlink AND the "Edit" button >> >> Could we agree with a standard so that we can fix it? >> >> I personally think that the Edit screen should always be available using >> the >> hyperlink on the Item Id or name (generally displayed in the first >> column). >> So I propose to get rid of the "Edit" buttons and adding the hyperlinks >> where there are not. >> >> What do you think about? >> -Bruno >> >> > |

Bruno,
Surprised that this mail got through in HTML format (Ho, I see ... I received only the one destined to me) Actually I like it more, even if this means more bytes on wires, but not when it comes to make inlines comments ;o) About topic : I agree with you as long as we are sure there are no misunderstandings in UI conventions. I'm sure you understand me as you are also concerned by UI consistency.
