---------------------------------------
Summary: The "Select" button in the Calendar Exception Day section
functions as an edit action but lacks appropriate context and UI feedback,
leading to user confusion.
Key: OFBIZ-13257
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-13257
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: manufacturing
Affects Versions: Upcoming Branch
Reporter: Yashwant Dhakad
*Description*
In the Calendar tab of the Manufacturing module, users can add exception days
using the "Add Calendar Exception Week" form. Once added, the exception days
appear in a list above the form, each entry displaying two buttons: Select and
Delete.
When the Select button is clicked, the corresponding exception day’s details
populate the form fields. While this allows users to modify existing entries,
the rest of the form remains unchanged — particularly:
* The button label remains "Add", not indicating any change in mode.
* There is no visual indication that the user is now editing an existing record
instead of creating a new one.
This lack of feedback creates ambiguity, especially for new users, as the
system does not clearly distinguish between "add" and "edit" operations.
*Proposed Improvements*
To enhance usability and align the interface with user expectations, the
following changes are recommended:
Rename the Select button to Edit to more accurately reflect its function.
When Edit is clicked:
* Switch the form into edit mode.
* Replace the "Add" button with an Update button.
* Optionally, introduce visual cues (e.g., form highlighting or a message) to
indicate that the form is now in edit mode.
*Benefits*
* Reduces user confusion by clearly distinguishing between adding and editing
actions.
* Improves consistency in UI behavior and terminology.
* Enhances overall user experience, particularly in scenarios with frequent
calendar configuration changes.
