Problem statement

During the application level actions projects, we identified that the current action selector is outdated. The list has grown inside the actions selector options and its not optimised to help users search and find the corrects actions that they need to.

Objective

The current actions selector from the property pane is not adapt to handling long list of items. Need to improve the actions selector for better usability.

The primary objectives are:

1. Improve the experience of searching for the correct action from the action selector.
2. Provide contextual information about each action and the inputs required to help users identify the correct action for their use case.
3. Order the list of actions contextually and based on users usage to provide the most frequent actions upfront.

Requirements

• Improving the design for the drop down as per the new design system components.
• Adding the ability to search the correct actions.
• Providing contextual information about the actions to help users select the correct action for their use case.
• Improving the sorting of actions to have the most used action shown up front.

What might be in scope?

• Ordering the actions based on users usage to have the most used actions shown upfront.
• Quick preconfigured settings for previous actions configured for the same widget type.

Out of scope

List the things that are out of cope or might be revisited after the first release.
