Hi, I've been testing the workflow proposal on one of the clustering node and have some more comments on the workflow: * if you create a record, go to privilege and publish to internet, the record is not yet published - because it's not approved - so maybe privileges should not be accessible for a workspace copy ? or a warning should be displayed in the privilege. * when changing status to approved, it looks like the metadata is published to all automatically - the metadata should keep its privileges, even if it's approved it could be a non public (for internet) record. Any options to configure that ? "approved" should not mean "publish to internet" I think. * it could be nice to provide an option to disable/bypass the feature where the save action behave as currently (so maybe copying the workspace copy to the metadata when saving) and all the new options in menu are hidden - this keep the user interface not too complex with less options which may be not of interest for all. With the workflow, the number of clicks to make a change is doubled and we probably have some user who would like to make changes with less click ... with inline text editing feature for example. * about menu, at some point we should maybe group actions by category because the list of choice is sometime very long and user may be lost. So grouping editing/viewing actions together at least. Cheers. Francois 2012/9/24 Francois Prunayre <fx....@gm...>: > +1 for me.
