Usability: Cancel Button and Assigments page
Page: 1
Recent posts in this topic
Hi,
I have two little usability issues. Maybe it is possible to add this features?
- If I edit an item, I have a "submit" button. I miss a "Cancel" button that takes me back to where I'm coming from without changing the item. (I know that this is a web application and can just click the breadcrumb, etc. BUT my clients sometimes don't and it more intuitive to "cancel")
- I'd like to complete tasks on the assigment page and the dashboard ("late / today"). This would be very handy!
thanks

We believe that secondary actions (Cancel, Go Back etc) need to be added ONLY if there is a good reason for that. Cancel on edit forms might not be such a bad idea if it communicates a clear message that it's a risk free way out (user will not "break" anything) so we'll see about this...

A search field on every forum page would aid in this.
Thanks Ilija, that's what I meant.
And I agree that cancel buttons on "normal" web forms (like contact forms) are useless but in this case they would be a part of the navigation.
What about the "complete tasks on assignment page" issue? I tested the hosted demo only ... may be I'm missing something?

You are not missing anything - there is no checkbox that lets you complete tasks on Assignments page. We'll see what we can do about that.
