Whenever a user deletes a record, the GUI shows another after the Delete. On Screens with only a Form, this is undesired for a couple of reasons:

  • Users seem to think the record was not detailed but updated since the same screen is still open but with different values
  • The next action is almost never taken in the next record, reverting back to the Grid/Card list is often done. 
  • The visual feedback of the delete is lacking, users are uncertain if the record is really deleted.

It would be better UX to revert back to the Grid/Cardlist screen after deleting a record in a Form tab (if these Screen components are available for the Subject). If a Grid or Cardlist is not available, the GUI should not select a new record after the Delete action (for instance on a Scheduler or on a Form-only screen). This will solve al problems mentioned above.
