Differentiate tables from task or reports in listbar menu

Related products: Software Factory Windows GUI

Currently there is no way, in for instance Themes, to differentiate between tables, tasks or reports in a listbar menu. Or I have missed something.

See the example below; the last two items are tasks and the rest are tables. I've switched of “Show icons” in the Theme, to keep it slick… Whether a table or view is opened or a task is started (possible on the background) is a surprise for a (new) user…. 

It would be nice if there were a way to seperate tasks from tables in a Listbar menu. This might be done by the GUI or give the developer the tools to achieve this…Perhaps the addition of a dummy divider line with possibly a translatable label...

 

 

Hi Henry,

Using iconography and naming would provide ample ways to differentiate between tables, tasks or reports. It is also the question whether a user, especially a new one, would know the difference between a task or a report. It would most likely be internalized as ‘performing an action’. We recommend using naming to indicate the user will perform an action (start with a verb, e.g. ‘Genereer premiefactuur’).

There is no way to differentiate using styling, and we do not plan on adding such functionality for the reasons above.

Kind regards,

Clear…. But depending on the number of votes on this idea from the community, I hope Thinkwise will reconsider their position…


Due to the reasons stated earlier, and the lack of votes, this idea will be closed.
