Acq: Distribution Formula Has A Confusing Display in POs

[Jennifer Pringle]

Evergreen 3.11

In the Batch Updater and the Items page in the purchase order, the distribution formula label and drop down menu don't really match up which makes the display confusing.

It would be better if Item Count and Distribution Formula were on different lines and the drop down menu for distribution formulas wasn't the width of the screen.

I agree. The display is confusing. It looks like the increased width of the box has bumped it to the next line. I am wondering if the increased box width is a result of the Bootstrap 5 upgrade. I like Jennifer's suggestion of having the Item Count and Distribution options on different lines but I think having the two options on the same line with the separator works as well.

I agree with Christine, if the drop down menu was a reasonable size and beside the Distribution Formula text that would also fix this.

In the Items interface, I think the Apply button also needs to be on the same line as Distribution Formula and the drop down menu with the Save Changes button below it.

Just to note, with the current display of this screen it's not intuitive that the Save Changes button applies to the entire interface rather than just the top section with the item count and distribution formulas. (You find out when you click Return and it tells you you have unsaved changes.)
