I call it the Grid Bar.  Because in it is the things that you can do with the 
grid.  No matter if the  Action button is there or not.

Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Web Client Bar for Actions and Column 
Picker

 

In my internal notes, I refer to it as the Action/Paging Bar, but I don't love 
that because I think it leaves out the Configuration part.

 

Similarly, I don't love Configuration Bar because to my mind that leaves out 
Actions and Paging.

 

However, I think Action Row (or Action Bar, or Grid Action Bar, or the like) 
actually captures all the things that can go there -- Paging Actions, 
Configuration Actions, and Action-Actions.

As far as the code is concerned, there are some internal names in use
that may be useful for setting on a name for use by the documentation.
The copy tag interface (/eg/staff/admin/local/asset/copy_tag) is what
I'm using as an example since the grid there uses all of the UI
widgets I'm about to refer to.

Going by CSS class names in particular:

* The button(s) on the left ("New Record") in this example are "grid
menu items".
* The set of of widgets that include the paging buttons the Actions
menu (if present) and column configuration drop-down is the "column
picker"
* The items in the Actions drop-down are "grid actions"
* The whole row, including grid menu item and the column picker is the
"action row".

I offer these in case they are helpful; I do /not/ suggest that the
documentation need to follow the CSS class names.

Regards,

Galen
