Use Report instead of Action to trigger MBOM Export #6
Comments
I actually bounced back and forth between using an Action and a Report when developing this project. I couldn't decide whether the use case should be treated as an action (export this data) or a report (show me a snapshot of this data). Ultimately I suppose it boils down to what the users want to see. It would be easy enough to include the dummy report in the project as an option for those whose users want to use the report option. I actually already have this report in my dev environment. I'll add it to the package and update the install instructions to include steps for activating the optional report. |
Optional report for calling the export feature from the Reports menu. Requested in Issue ArasLabs#6.
Uh wait! You´re right! An Action fits well...but a Report also. During my tests I instinctively looked in the Report menu first, because I compared this project to the OOTB XSLT reports used in Parts. It´s really not an easy question, espcially when we take a look at other Aras applications that can publish something. Finding the right answer for this one is probably a challanging task for UX designers. I think your CUI buttion idea is the best approach, as users don´t need to look into any menu at all. |
The current version uses an additional Action to trigger the MBOM Export.
But users are used to creating reports via the report menu. The action menu is inteded for other things.
Solution:
Use an additional report item to start the method to improve user experience:
