Feature #21448

Updated by Peter Amstutz 3 months ago

Currently the context menu / toolbar is sorted alphabetically.    I think this was done because it is combined from several other menu fragments which are enabled or disabled depending on the user's access. 

 However, the result is that the options are not in any logical order.    The options should be reordered roughly based on frequency of use, and then grouped with spacers between groups.    There's also a few  

 

 E.g. the current menu for a Process is 

 Add to favorites 
 API Details 
 Copy and re-run process 
 Edit Process 
 Move to 
 Open in new tab 
 Outputs 
 Remove 
 Share 
 View Details 

 I think these options can be put into conceptual groups "get more information", "perform an operation", and "toggle state".

 h2. Other edits 

 Processes have an option to "Share", but that doesn't actually work.    That should be removed. 

 For processes, consider only showing "Edit process" on processes in "Draft" state. 

 For processes, I think we should consider removing the "Move to" option for the time being because it doesn't completely do what you want (it moves exactly that one process, but it doesn't move any of the child processes, outputs or logs). 

 "Copy to clipboard" should be "Copy link to clipboard" 

 We could consider striking "Outputs" as a menu option.    There's other ways to get to it.
