UI / UX agreements across apps

• freeze rows

• @John Coburn notes that we can do this now by setting a static height for the table. Upside: frozen headings! Downside: table height is always fixed, whether there are 3 rows or 300 rows. 

Greenagreed

• improves overview

• it is difficult to know what the height of each list should be

• will vary, so no general criteria - status: set per app (where it makes sense)

• need to agree on a default behaviour

• there is conflict if we have more and more MCLs with check boxes

• in cases where we have check-boxes, freeze the first 2 columns?

• PO would agree with SIG on how many columns need to be freezed

Greenagreed

with exceptions

NO

Spike needed

• sorting of table headers should be available consistently across apps

• helpful to have a sort indicator, to indicate that a column is sortable

• pageable lists: some columns are not sortable

• all not pageable lists should have sortable headers

• Sara in chat: Just wondering--if not a MCL thing then for the future--just wondering: like in a spreadsheet can I sort on Column A and then on Column B in conjunction

• for paged lists: yes

• for non-paged lists: no

• would be great to have it for paged and non-pages lists

Greenagreed

YES

• add line numbers to MCL result lists

• important to have in mind that numbers are usually independant from the line content

• first line will always be #1

• there should be an indicator that it is a row number; because there are some exceptions where it is not

• additionally, numbers could give an ancor for clicking to see more details → no, rather name, barcode (depending on the use case)

• anchored text instead of anchored rows; text that looks like a link

• therefore define columns with click ancor as never hide

• Kimie in chat: If we add line numbers, and then the user drags and drops a row, will the numbers be able to update at the moment of the drag and drop? → John: yes, they have to

Greenagreed

• full search and sort for the sub-MCLs is needed

• An option to pop out a sub-MCL into its own full screen window with search and filter options

• make available at accordeon level

Greenagreed

• export option helps as there is more functionality in Excel

• e.g. export is available for some MCLs in orders

• for multi-page lists there is a difference between export this page and export all

• idea:

  • start with exporting current page

  • and extend with option to select → add an intermediate step and open a modal where user can select

  • depending on how many lines it can be expensive

Greenagreed

• @John Coburn and @Zak_Burke will have a look and check possible ways to export full MCL list to excel technically

• maybe create a Spike

• come back and talk about results in a few weeks

TBD

• Modals or other popups need to move

• should not be fixed in place on the screen

• In various Apps functional Modals be moved out of the way while in use but at the same time cover over information that is needed while using the Modal.

• Not all modals are "Look-up" modals, some are "Fill-out" modals and so info is on the screen now hidden

• e.g.: in the Receiving App, the Receiving Note.

• Additionally, I often want to copy and then paste into the pop-up modal info from the screen behind, but no longer can.

• I would hope that if I can move it out of the way, I then would also be able to copy off it to pate into fields in the popup

• my demo example would get be when I am creating a piece in the Receiving App.

• modals could be moved somewhere where user cannot see them anymore; should not happen

• To Do: collect use cases

  • creation modal:

    • receiving: creating receiving piece; information needed is hidden; creating somethin with modal

  • look up modal:

    • title look upinformation is variable

  • warning modal

TBD

Modals: use cases for movability and resizability

• When I use keyboard shortcuts I need to view them separately from the screen I am working on

• maybe open in a separate window or pane

• Charlotte in chat: An extra pane, sounds a bit like Tags, when in the three pane layout
