[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Re: Web Console: Context Menus and Navigation

David,

Again, compliments for combining the search functionality in the table. I'm sure Gavin would like to have this in seam as well for other lists besides tasklists (I would).  (There is a Jira issue for seam on this, if it could be made more generic... that would be great)

Some remarks still...

- The opening page is the user tasklist. That is (obivious) the most important one. I therefor would make it, the user part of the menu, the top one in the menu. (the username and logout are probably out of place then... hmmmmm)
- There is some inconsitency in the menu vs the title of the page (find processes in the menu vs start process in the page)
- Make the menu higlight the 'current/active' page
- I (personally) dislike 'jumping' screens and/or menus. The error reports should imo be in a place that does not make the screen jump.

I agree with James (and Jonathan) that some kind of grouping (like a tree table does) would be nice to have the tasks grouped by the first specified colum (i'd hide the id and have the 'view' either in the end or  make the row itself clickable (with e.g. a  tooltip which tells this to the user). You can then group by e.g. the process name, or the taskname (in which case this should (imo) not be tasks with the same name over processes with different names).

Ok, besides this (imo ;-) ) constructive critisism, some nitpicking. The grey is a little dark, shouldn't we use the grey from the jboss site? That is a little lighter.

And to James, did you see the latest jbpm search for tables... it's great... Now if only it would be shown as what it is in the exadel jsf editor... (ahhh well, I've got to have something to dream about, other then.......)
