Hello,
In response to the emails:
- I prefer save > submit where possible, I have found 'submit' to be
confusing to users, so I would get rid of that as much as possible
- The chose order is less important, but I have a personal preference
for 'save | apply | cancel.'
- Yeah, I'm happy to chip in with some 'monkey' work...
Kind Regards
Niels

- In some cases "Save" is distinct from "Submit", for example
when editing a multi page data structure like WPS permission
it is possible (common even) to loose your work but saving a
"sub page" but not "submitting" the completed result. Long
term these may be best represented as pop-up Dialogs like
browser, short term can we change these screens to "OK/Cancel"
so as not to give the impression they are saving ...
Did not think about it, fair point... so I guess the inconsistency
will stay until someone can get dedicated time to look
individually, has become too much work (the only change I was
volunteering to do was a i18n one, mind).
I understand hopefully the reason above explains this inconsistency to
Niels. I hope we can use i18n for the OK/Cancel items.
How about it Niels want to take a run at making this consistent with
OK/Cancel for these “sub pages”? I would rather see these changes done
once, so we update the docs once.
My opinion:
- Use "Save" (not "Submit") as we are saving a change, not
submitting a form for later processing
For someone else to look at, as indicated above.
- Use "Save|Apply|Cancel" consistently when saving.
Works for me, I can do this.
Thanks!
- Use "OK/Cancel" consistently when not saving.
- Use "Delete/Cancel" when deleting.
Both for someone else to look at, as indicated above.
- We can use CSS to introduce visual distinction (SAVE | APPLY
| Cancel) if we wish
Same as above.
Two offers of assistance:
- I will talk to GeoCat about updating the documentation, I
agree trimming the images is a good first cut, but many are
out of date anyways
- If we can isolate the "Save|Apply|Cancel" into a div how do
you feel about having it float to a consistent location on
screen during scrolling. Having to scroll to the bottom or top
of the page is an awkward time waste, this is especially
frustrating when used with "Apply" as you lose your spot on
long forms.
Seems interesting, for someone else to look at, too
Sounds good,
Jody
