User experience in saving a new source #47

Open aharonium opened 9 years ago

aharonium commented 9 years ago

After source form is completed it's unclear what to do next. Could we move the "save" button to the bottom of the form?

User must scroll back up and click "save," but after clicking save nothing appears to happen -- except that the button changes to "Saved."

Could the save operation either

1) automatically move user to the edit new text for that source?

or

2) provide a direct link where that source can be edited?

The save button should always appear on top of the page. No scrolling should be necessary, since it's a fixed toolbar. The save operation is consistent with the UI of many applications that don't auto-save. If it is there, this not a bug. If it isn't, it's a bug and we need to figure out why it's not showing up (and in what browser).

(1) No, what if you're not done editing yet? What if you don't want to start a new text, but instead you want to add to an existing text with elements from the source you're editing.

(2) Not sure if there's an automatic way to do this. In general, a source will represent a collection of much smaller "texts" that are probably ~1-2 pages of texts in length. Each of the texts will have titles completely unknown to the system at the time a source is first entered. Not all sources are expected to be 1:1 with Texts.

Updating this issue from a year ago: The "outline" view is close to a direct link to an entire source, so (2) might be done. It can still use some enhancements, but it's close.
