Created attachment 82181 [details] [review] Bug 21803: Redesign authorized values interface This patch redesigns the authorized values management interface. The primary change is that the initial view of authorized values is now a table listing all authorized values categories and their descriptions. Descriptions have been added or updated according to the text of the manual. To test, apply the patch and go to Administration -> Authorized values. - You should see a table of authorized values displayed in a DataTables-formatted table. - Click a category. You should be taken to the list of authorized values for that category. If there are none defined you should see a message saying so, including a button to add one. - Click the "Add" button next to an authorized value category. It should take you to the form for adding an authorized value to that category.

Signed-off-by: Pierre-Marc Thibault <pierre-marc.thibault@inLibro.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Renvoize <martin.renvoize@ptfs-europe.com> This is a nice little enhancement. I don't especially like the hardcoded descriptions but they are translatable and there's lots of precedence for them. Passing QA I agree with Martin about the descriptions, it makes me want to be able to add descriptions for user added categories, but I think that is future enhancement I like that the breadcrumbs can take us back to the main list, but I think we need a more obvious button - it is unclear after clicking on a single category how to get back to the list. Could we have a 'Return to main page' button or similar? If you look at the admin pages we often rely on the breadcrumbs for the way back, it's a well known pattern. You can also navigate back or use the navigation on the left. A button doesn't feel right to me - maybe because the translation of this would be horrible long :) Awesome work all! Pushed to master for 19.05 Enhancement, will not be backported to 18.11.x series. |
Created attachment 82178 [details] Screenshot showing the proposed interface The authorized values interface is unusual in that it loads the first category by default and category-switching only happens through a dropdown menu. I propose to make this page more like almost every other similar interface in Koha: Start with a table listing all the categories.
