Description Liz Rea 2017-06-26 23:42:14 UTC
System with lots of circulation rules face an unreasonable level of frustration when wanting to edit a rule they have already defined.

Usually, a staff user will know which rule they want to edit without scrolling to the end of the table, and they often lose track of which row they are looking for before clicking edit (or delete). We should provide them buttons that they don't have to scroll to see.

My reason for suggesting this is based on observations of librarians trying to work quickly with the rules. The short story is: they can't, because of the frustrating scrolling.

On circ rules table we have used successfully buttons to left hand side to change some existing values, add and delete a new patron category.

Bug 18857 (QA Followup) Add title to lower 'Action' header

These were showing as blank, for consistency seems like we should label
as 'Actions'
Comment 7 Liz Rea 2017-08-08 21:53:55 UTC
I disagree with Nick's change, it isn't how the column is labelled currently and I don't see the point to having it in the table footer. Consistency is usually good, there doesn't seem to be much point to it in this case.

Cheers,
Liz
