[xwiki-users] [Proposal][UX] Feedback for Explicit Content Actions
Hi, We had feedback that new users don't know where to find the 'Edit' and 'Create' buttons. Also there is some confusions of why we have a 'cog' icon that contains actions like 'Delete' and a 'three dots' icon that contain other actions. Would be great if you could tell us which version you prefer: P2: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/advan... P4: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/P4_1_... Both proposals add backgrounds around the icons, the main difference is that P2 also uses descriptive labels, while P4 keeps the consistency with the top icons and a more minimalist style. For the more actions menu, we want to combine the actions and add category labels, see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/moreA... What do you think? Do you have other solutions for your instances? Did you encounter the same problem? Thanks, Caty
P2 is great because it is descriptive and probably helpful on wikis with a lot of users who are "less technical" or "slightly technophobic". P4 is great because it is compact and I think even technophobic users will understand what the buttons do after the first few tries. So my vote is for P4. Regarding "combine the actions and add category labels". That looks awesome and much more intuitive.

This is getting interesting since I know users that like the P2 version and actually it was one of the first choices for re-implementation. I guess we need more votes to reach a conclusion.

Hi, I'm voting for P2 because it is making the visual style of buttons with dropdown menu to look as they should look, with indication of the dropdown menu. Secondly, the visual style of the edit page button will keep consistent with the buttons for inline section editing.

Hi Caty, I would use the Edit text w/ pencil on Edit and just the plus icon for Create. The reason is Edit needs to be differentiated from Create, but this is accomplished with the word Edit. On small resolutions (iPhone) I think it is acceptable to hide the word Edit. The triple-dot icon needs to be a button. P2 has it as a free-floating icon, P4 has it as a button: it needs to be a button as per P4. Otherwise, looks good! Be well, Craig

I have to disagree here. The purpose is to promote and highlight both important actions and that is both 'Edit' and 'Create'. The 'plus' sign can be also confusing for new users. Highlighting just 'Edit' would be hard to justify.

Yes, a better screenshot for P2 is http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/P2_no... The symmetric P4 screenshot is http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/P4_no... Thanks, Caty

Hi Caty, I like the current P2. What are the drop-down options for Edit? My reasoning for hiding Create is that the Create function is a little confusing to begin with for new users. If you are used to files and folders, it is weird that a file is also a folder (that a node can have child nodes that are also documents). This makes sense to me because I am a computer science grad, but it isn’t that obvious to long-time Mac/Windows users. I would almost want it to be called “Create New Child Page” or something, to better indicate what is going to happen when you click that button. Except, sometimes, it doesn’t create a new child page, depending on the template you choose. In any case, there is no obvious solution, P2 looks best of the options provided. :) Thanks, Craig

This P2 is much nicer, but I still prefer P4. I can see why some people like P2 as it is more descriptive. But, P4 still matches the current icons better (and I am guessing not many people have complained that they don't know what those mysterious buttons in the top right are for.) Additionally there's a tool tip when you hover over the buttons and once you know what the button does, you don't actually need the label. The icons are pretty universal as well. i.e. a Pencil indicates editing and a Plus sign indicates "adding". I don't suppose this could be a wiki wide configurable option? :) Or maybe something that can be turned on/off with a class in the skin.

Voting for P2 Arguments here : https://thomasbyttebier.be/blog/the-best-icon-is-a-text-label "Pencil" and "+" Icons are not explicit for everyone. But I would go further : 1/ "Create" does't tell me what I will create. The next screen tells me Create Page. => so I think : "Create a new page" is more relevant (in the landing page, we could include the "Duplicate this page" (aka "copy") function 2/ The "kebab" 3 vertical dots is not explicit either : doesn't tell me what's behind (what's the difference with the hamburger)=> I think it would be better to display "More actions" (which is coherent because Edit and Create (a new page) are the most performed actions (presumably) -- <http://xwiki.com> * Olivier Sérès* * VP Business Development* oseres@xwiki.com skype: olivierseres Linkedin <https://fr.linkedin.com/in/olivierseres> Mobile : +33 6 61 31 2001 On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 6:34 PM, Mahomed Hussein <Mahomed@custodiandc.com> wrote:
This P2 is much nicer, but I still prefer P4.
I can see why some people like P2 as it is more descriptive. But, P4 still matches the current icons better (and I am guessing not many people have complained that they don't know what those mysterious buttons in the top right are for.) Additionally there's a tool tip when you hover over the buttons and once you know what the button does, you don't actually need the label.
The icons are pretty universal as well. i.e. a Pencil indicates editing and a Plus sign indicates "adding".
I don't suppose this could be a wiki wide configurable option? :) Or maybe something that can be turned on/off with a class in the skin.

Hi Caty,
I would use the Edit text w/ pencil on Edit and just the plus icon for Create. The reason is Edit needs to be differentiated from Create, but this is accomplished with the word Edit. On small resolutions (iPhone) I think it is acceptable to hide the word Edit.
I have to disagree here. The purpose is to promote and highlight both important actions and that is both 'Edit' and 'Create'. The 'plus' sign can be also confusing for new users. Highlighting just 'Edit' would be hard to justify.
The triple-dot icon needs to be a button. P2 has it as a free-floating icon, P4 has it as a button: it needs to be a button as per P4.
Yes, a better screenshot for P2 is http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/P2_ noRightPanels.png The symmetric P4 screenshot is http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/P4_ noRightPanels.png
Thanks, Caty
Otherwise, looks good!
Be well, Craig

Hi,
I'm voting for P2 because it is making the visual style of buttons with dropdown menu to look as they should look, with indication of the dropdown menu. Secondly, the visual style of the edit page button will keep consistent with the buttons for inline section editing.

Hi,
We had feedback that new users don't know where to find the 'Edit' and 'Create' buttons. Also there is some confusions of why we have a 'cog' icon that contains actions like 'Delete' and a 'three dots' icon that contain other actions.
Would be great if you could tell us which version you prefer: P2: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ IdeaLabeledActions/ advancedUser.png P4: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ IdeaLabeledActions/P4_1_bigger.png
Both proposals add backgrounds around the icons, the main difference is that P2 also uses descriptive labels, while P4 keeps the consistency with the top icons and a more minimalist style.
For the more actions menu, we want to combine the actions and add category labels, see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ IdeaLabeledActions/ moreActions.png
What do you think? Do you have other solutions for your instances? Did you encounter the same problem?

I vote for P4. But will prefer P4 more, because pencil and plus icons are good enough to convey the meaning of action. I guess everyone working on a page would at least have a basic idea of what she is doing.. so just P4 icons could suffice. And the newcomers without any slight idea of wiki couldn't understand even if P2 is there. And yes, the cog actions can be merged with three dots.. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Proposal-UX-Feedback-for-Explicit-Content-...

Not sure about making this configurable. It's a simple decision, we need to agree on a default. With this approach we make everything in XWiki configurable. The advantage of reaching to newcomers is that in time they will also become advanced users. We want to encourage user transformation.

I agree for new users but not for advanced. Users who’ve used those button just once know about them and don’t need the labels. I’d go as far as saying that the labels could actually be distracting by taking more visual space and catching your eyes when you look at the UI as a whole and want to focus on the content. Now this could be minor and the advantages for the newcomers could be more important than the small downside for returning users. Thanks -Vincent

I totally agree with this about the UI and wasted space and distractions.

Well newcomers just need to learn about the functions of the buttons by using them once or twice.

Hi, So after 2 weeks of available time to express opinions I have some conclusions: we are going to implement P2. I've created http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14265 We are going to make sure to have a span around the labels so that they can be easily hidden in custom skins. We had 42 votes around the subject held on 4 channels, for more details see http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions#HVoting P2 had 65% of the votes, while P4 35%.
