Administration Options - Mismatch between menu name and interface name

[Jennifer Pringle]

Evergreen 3.7

Throughout local and server admin menus the labels on the menus and the headings of the actual interfaces do not match.

While a lot of the menu names versus interface names are very similar there are also some that are completely different which can cause confusion when working with those interfaces.

As well, the mismatched names add challenges to documenting the features.

Of particular note with the server admin:

Actor Stat Cat Sip Fields -> SIP Statistical Category Field Identifier Configuration
Asset Stat Cat Sip Fields -> SIP Statistical Category Field Identifier Configuration

These two interfaces have identical names and the interfaces look identical though they do have slightly different URLs.

Other admin menus:

Serials
Serial Item Templates -> Serials Templates

Booking
Resources -> Resource Configuration
Resource Attributes -> Resource Attribute Configuration
Resource Attribute Maps -> Resource Attribute Map Configuration
Resource Attribute Values -> Resource Attribute Value Configuration
Resource Types -> Resource Type Configuration

Workstation
Printer Settings -> Hatch Printer Settings
Stored Preferences -> Stored User Preferences
Tests -> Webclient Latency Test

The acquisitions admin menu has changed significantly in 3.8 so will need to reviewed on a 3.8 server.

Here's the working branch I have. I didn't get absolutely everything yet, but it's a start.

[Gina Monti (gmonti90)]

Here's the last push with changes to Booking and Workstation:

The patches change the end of line characters from Unix-style newlines to Windows-style carriage return + line feeds. This makes it difficult to review just the pertinent changes, and the patches should not be committed that way. Could you check the newline settings on your text editor and revise the patches?

[Jane Sandberg (sandbergja)]

Just a note that in VSCode or Codium, when you have a file open, there should be a "CRLF" or "LF" at the bottom of the screen. You'll want to make sure it is set to "LF", to keep the end of line characters consistent with what is in the repo. Looking forward to this patch, thanks for all your work on it Gina!

[Gina Monti (gmonti90)]

I'm going to have to upload a brand new branch because the diffs are getting mixed up. Thanks for the advice everyone; I'll get this fixed.

[Gina Monti (gmonti90)]

Ok new branch!

Thanks, Jane, for supplying more info with VS Code.

Looking at the new patch (thanks, Gina!) there's a problem with single vs. plural in the IDL. For example, the change from "Resource Type" to "Resource Types" will make the automatically generated staff banner be "Resource Type", but will also make the new button read "New Resource Types", which is not quite correct.

I noticed that one of the sections of the patch for bug 2023579 changed the default banner for BasicAdminPageComponent pages from "Foo Editor" to just "Foo". I wonder if we'd be better off adjusting that to make the automatic page type be "Foo Administration" and leaving the record labels in the IDL in their singular form.

An alternative might be to (either in fm_IDL.xml itself or somewhere to sitting to the side of it) add the plural forms in a way that allows them to be translated. That way, interfaces could pick and choose whether they mean to display the singular form or the plural form.
