Description

The way the current select boxes for actions in the new workspaces module are arranged is quite confusing:

1) There are two select boxes while it would be easier to understand if there was only one
2) The right select box seems to affect all items, when selecting all items through the checkboxes, one can not use it anymore though
3) The differentiation of the two boxes is hard to understand in general: I wasn't involved in development, just like a regular editor. Why can't I discard multiple selected items at once f.e.? I can do that for all items at once though... The same issue occurs the other way around, why can't I send all items to a next stage at once? I can of course when I select all items through the checkboxes, but that would then be the same as not selecting any item and choosing an action from the right select box, that action is not available there however...

An example for these situations could be that I have changes by one editor only, I trust that editor and want to move his changes to the next stage without looking at them f.e.

Merging these two boxes would solve these misunderstandings I guess.

Hi Ingo - thanks for the feedback. The current layout was the result of many (long) discussions and the result was what the UI Team (Lars+Jens) came up with. We already got different feedback and we decided to keep the current layout (two selectboxes) but clarify the labels a bit. You'll find related tasks in our list. If you want to have a deeper discussion on it I'd suggest we can arrange a Skype call with Jens, Sonja , maybe also Francois and Ernesto and see what we come up with.

Merging the boxes is imho no solution because "Mass action" are not related to the grid (that why we're going to clarify the labels)

Hy,

in general Tolleiv is right. Beside that I sad 2 boxes :)
I wish to one select-box which just switch it's behavior.

  • Nothing is selected = Do mass action
  • Something is selected = Do selection action

Lars wish to have it like that .. and we somehow agreed.
But if I see it now in real .. it's as confusing as I accepted it.

So I would say .. if possible .. merge the boxes.
Sorry for they redundant work here. :(
