How to allow to create a party from where it could be needed
Following Bruno's suggestion about Compiere UI
http://www.compiere.com/products/product-demos/tour/compiere_window_navigation.htm
I suggest that we put a link to
https://localhost:8443/partymgr/control/createnew everywhere we have a party
lookup, using the party
label at left of the field. Actually we could generalising everywhere we have a
lookup for something.
I know it's easy to click on the Party tab and then on create new. But after
reading BJ's reading suggestion
http://www.uie.com/articles/design_intuitive/, I think it's an easy way to
teach newbies how to do it. Easy for us to introduce, and
easy for newbies to use, maybe with a tooltip "click on party to create". This
would fill the Condition #2 of the article above
Of course being able to show the screen where the choice of the type of party
to create is done, and then the screen where data are
entered in a CSS hidden/shown window like the calendar would be great and could be our next target. This would allow to not leave
the
page the user is on and would create a less disturbing environment. But I know
that this would also mean to preload these windows in
memory and is maybe out of reach at the moment (from a memory POV, without
speaking of the code needed). Else we could do the same
thing for all the lookups, having them poping up as fast as the calendar. From a code POV, perhaps generalising from the calendar
code could be a way
