| 14 | == Problem == | ||
| 15 | The [[distribution wizard>>http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki42#HExperimentalinstall2Fupgradewizard]] contains 2 buttons, named **"Skip"** and **"Cancel"** which produce confusions about their functionality and effect: | ||
| 16 | * **Skip** means 'go to the next step and ask me again after a server restart' | ||
| 17 | ** //temporary cancel// | ||
| 18 | * **Cancel** means 'go to the next step and don't ask me again until I change my distribution' | ||
| 19 | ** //permanent cancel// | ||

| 36 | ==== Improvement Version 1: Using Checkbox ==== | ||
| 37 | * Transform old_'Skip' into new_'Cancel'. Use **'Cancel'** button pattern in the classical manner, where cancel action has a naturally //temporary// postpone action associated with it. | ||
| 38 | * Transform old_'Cancel' into a checkbox. Use **'Don't ask me again ...'** pattern to represent the //permanent// action. | ||

| 43 | |||
| 44 | ==== Improvement Version 2: Using Select ==== | ||
| 45 | * Transform both buttons into a select with three states (see picture2): | ||
| 46 | ** continue wizard: **'Continue with this wizard'** | ||
| 47 | ** //temporary// postone wizard: **'Reload this wizard after a server restart (postpone it for now)'** | ||
| 48 | ** //permanent// abord wizard: **'Abort this wizard for this distribution (and continue the process manually)'** | ||
| 49 | * Select options have the advantage that can contain multiple words to describe the action. | ||
| 50 | * Temporary cancel and permanent cancel are states that normally shouldn't be needed by user. The primary, desired action for the user is continuing the installation/upgrade action, so this should be the selected state. | ||
