Last modified by Vincent Massol on 2024/11/19 16:14
Description
Objective
- Make sure the Page actions (Create, Copy, Rename, Delete, Administer) are consistent between them.
- Similar views should be consistent between them. Same requirement for:
- (Edit, View)
- the viewers (Attachments, Comments, History, etc.)
- (Create Page, Create Wiki)
UC: As an user, know where you are in the application.
UC: As an user, be able to change your mind on the current step, either by going back, canceling or changing the selected action.
UC: As an user, know which are your next steps.
Requirements
For each of the page steps, check if the step has:
- Breadcrumb:
- Breadcrumb should be present in order to allow the user to navigate away from this view in case he ended up by mistake
- Titles:
- Title should be present
- Consistent font-size
- Consistent spacing between the title and following elements
- Menu:
- Content menu should be present in order to allow the user to change his mind regarding the action he wants to perform (particularly important for 'Copy' / 'Rename' / 'Move' actions)
- Last modified should not be present since this is not a content page
- There should be a separator between the title area and the form elements
- Buttons:
- A clear primary action button present
- The label of the button uses a clear verb (like 'Create', 'Delete', etc.)
- The 'Cancel' button is present
- A clear primary action button present
