Hi Devs,
There are two different standards on the action icon usage in the LiveTable:
- with icon + text - only with icon
The main problem is the lack of consistency.
Please vote on three versions: Var 1 : Icon + Text <http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActionIcons#var1> Var 2 : Just Icon< http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActionIcons#var2> Var 3 : Icon + Legend< http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActionIcons#var3>
I'd normally vote for 1 but taking into account smaller screen I'm also +1 for var 3. According to "Don't make me think" var 2 should be prohibited since it forces users to think. Tooltips are very bad for the same r'eason.
So +1 for either 1 or 3 but -0 for 2 and Guillaume's option with tooltips (we can have tooltips but in addition to something more visible).
Indeed.
Thus I'm +1 with Var 3 + tooltips.
Guillaume
+1 for var 3 with tooltips.

We should find a standard icons set to express the global actions: - "view all" - "delete all" - "unwatch all" etc. An example is the watchlist table of items, where the global action for "delete" has the same icon with the items specific "delete" action. This is confusing, and the user might click it without knowing what will be the result of his action. We could also add a way to request the confirmation of user's actions (for example the "delete" or "unwatch" action). And this should be configurable, in the admin interface, the general section, by checking the "Request for confirmation ... " option. Raluca.
