some more ideas, now that i found much more behind the processes :-) These are just
ideas, and should be discussed before you take action.
The variations in context sensitive is a bit confusing. After a few clicks, i got the
scheme that is behind it, but still, I have to read through the menus to know what
functions are available. Also, I think the appearing of the context sensitive menus will
be a bit hard to use for power users.
I was thinking of the following alternative: Replacing the context sensitive menu's
with a kind of trail like
[Process 'Websale'] >> [Task 'Buy expensive things']
Such a line could be added on the top of the page, full length. Perhaps this can be done
in the same colors as the border around the boxes.
This would resolve 2 issues i have:
1) get rid of the flashing context sensitive menus on the left. So the general menus will
not start moving and remain on their place.
2) Moving more content (and actions) in the pages and less actions in the menus will
improve clarity, i think. Especially, the task page could contain all the actions that
are now available in the context sensitive menu.
Also you could later add pop-up menus on the [Process 'Websale'] and [Task
'Buy expensive things'] to make frequently used operations available with 1
instead of 2 clicks.
ps. don't worry about stability in this alpha release. the only thing that i think
needs to be added to this current release is a kind of help in which you explain how to
start a new process instance for dummies like me :-) I would prefer to be able to release
sooner. Especially now that i know that the generated task forms are almost working. If
the actions in the task forms are fixed, and the web app is a bit documented with a help
button somewhere, we can release. Would these two things be possible by tomorrow ?
Again, stability is not yet an issue. Let's work on that before we go to beta
releases.
