Created attachment 51965 [details] Screenshot showing one part of the proposed change I propose to consolidate some links on the acquisitions receipt summary page into menus: - MARC and Card view - Receive, transfer, cancel etc.
Created attachment 52371 [details] [review] Bug 16640 - Move actions on acquisitions receipt summary page into menu This patch moves two groups of links into two menus: MARC and Card preview into one, Receive, transfer, cancel, etc. into another. Also changed: The transfer order pop-up window has been sized down to be more consistent with other similar pop-ups. Baskets and basket group links now include the whole name rather than just the number to make it easier to click. To test you must have a basket or baskets with multiple titles on order, both received and pending. - Apply the patch and go to Acquisitions -> Vendor -> Receive shipment -> Receive a new shipment (or open an existing invoice). - In the list of pending orders: - Test the 'View' menu for multiple titles. The 'MARC' and 'Card' menu items should work correctly. - Test the 'Actions' menu for the following actions: - Receive - Transfer - Cancel order - Cancel order and delete catalog record - Confirm that under some circumstances the 'Cancel order' and 'Cancel order and delete catalog record' items are disabled. In these cases hovering over the menu items should trigger a tooltip. An explanation should be displayed in red at the bottom of the menu. Clicking the menu item should trigger an alert with the explanation.

I'd say the number of items and orders left should still be displayed directly, without having to click on the actions button.

I think based on Jonathan's comment 3 that this needs some more opinions.
I like what I see on the screenshot, the only change I'd suggest is making "Receive" the default action (split button). I think the remaining orders, items, subscriptions currently takes up a lot of space while cancelling an order is not the default action. It be totally ok with it only showing on mouseover/click. Idea: Relabel it to receive order (to make it easier to distinguish from receive for serials in translatons.
Agreeing with both Katrin and Jonathan here - moving to Assigned for future work
I'm closing this, since any work I may do in the future will take a different approach.
