Hi all,
lately I have worked trying to define a new UI pattern. This has been inspired
by looking at the Compiere web interface.
I finally have now a working example that I would like to submit to discuss to
see if you find it convenient and an approach we could consider.
Basically, I would like to introduce a bar of icons at the top of the content
page. These icons should be used to issue commands on the actual form:
The commands I have implemented right now are:
- Submit
- Search
- Cancel
- Create
- Collapse all (only icon, not yet completed)
- Expend all (only icon, not yet completed)
Using the form actions bar we could remove the "Create new" link that is
usually present in the form menus. Even the "Search" and "Submit" buttons
should be removed and the icons should be used instead.
The "Cancel" icon is usefull to return from an edit screen to the relative
findscreen without accepting the editing of the fields.
The collapse/expand all is still to be implemented. This should be done with a
proper javascript and then linked to this icons.
In the attached patch I have changed the findexample and editexample screens to
use the new pattern so that you can easily see how it is implemented.
In order to see it in action you should also select the bluelight theme.
Many thanks for the comments you will provide.
