 Description   

We should verify all Action Bars of all apps before going live. We should also check all definitions of all secondary menus (or: context menus) showing actions.

We focus on these points:

  • Verify all group and section definitions in all major apps
    • First section contains the common actions defined on the item itself.
      • groups should be add/delete (add first), preview/edit/duplicate,copy,paste,rename, publish/unpublish
      • since we do not have closeable sections currently, we add an additional group after these groups, which contain all less used actions, e.g import/export. Actually, I'd prefer these less used actions to be in a second (closable) section.
    • Ensure that there's only a single visible section with common actions (not two as shown in Contacts app)
  • Verify the naming of all actions
    • The pattern is "<action> <highest level type name of selected item>", e.g. "Edit page", "Move component", "Rename asset" (see also Improvement (1) below).

As an example of the last point not being done correctly: the Pages app uses "Delete Page" instead of "Delete page".

  • Verify all secondary menus
    • They should only contain the most common actions...
    • ... and no destructive ones (e.g. "delete").

I checked all content apps and confirmed the groups were all conistant and matched the spec in the description as well as available given that there is no copy/paste. (Moved rename action under edit action as its function is closely related.)

add/ delete
preview/ edit/ rename/ duplicate
publish/ unpublish
others

Verified that only one section is shown at a time.

Verified naming of <action> <highest level type name of selected item>.

Currently secondary menus must be the same as actionbar so that criteria should currently be skipped.

ONLY actual change in Security, Assets, Contacts, Categories apps was to change creation verb from "New" to "Add" in order to be consistant with Pages and Configuration apps and with the UX specification.

Note as change was so small, there is just this one ticket for commits across all affected JIRA projects.

This needs to be done also in the version handler and requires a test case.

Added MVH & Tests for renaming any renaming actions with 'New x' to 'Add x'.

Security app (in ui).
Contacts app
Assets app
Categorization app

Security actions did not get properly renamed from "New " to "Add ".

Added version handler to module descriptor file for Security module.
