0019034: The form layouter toolbar icon doesn't get the "asterisk" if the form layout has been edited

Notes
(0042713) rgoris (developer) 2011-11-10 09:03	The asterisk has been intentionally taken out. The rationale is that there is no added value for the user knowing that a form has been modified. In fact, in most cases (when using an ) the will always be shown as on day 1 the form will be customized for the user. This kind of subverts the notion of giving the user a visual cue of something that happens. Also, how is changing a form layout different than changing a grid layout? Would that need an visual cue as well?

(0042718) dbaz (developer) 2011-11-10 10:28	As a user I personally loved this feature. In the grid, you miss some information (section, order, status bar, filtered columns, hidden columns) and is plenty of visual cues: for hidden columns clicking in a drop down you see all the columns, for the filter you see the funnel, for status bar you can see the columns, etc etc. All of them you know without lose sight of the grid. For the order, you have to specify save the view to persist it (remember that there is a feature request to know if you are in a view or not), and even for sections there is a feature request (although this is for me the less important). So in the grid you don't have to open a different window to know if something has happened or not. As I said in the beginning, I would like to know if the form layout is the standard one or not without the need to open the form layoutter, and click "Restore defaults" to see if anything is changed or not. This feature was already built, so it is not expensive to have it, we are not talking about a big development to put it in place.

If there is a great need to see that the current view (form or grid) has been changed but not saved then we should do it at view level (to also show that the grid has changed). So in the views button. But again, I don't at all see the importance of this issue... gr. Martin

(0053143) mtaal (manager) 2012-10-09 09:26	He Guys, Going through older issues... For this one, I propose to either do something, maybe add a different background to the customize view button in the toolbar? Or to close it. I vote for the latter! gr. Martin

(0053414) ioritzCia (developer) 2012-10-17 10:37	Changed from critical to major as it is a feature request.

For example when you add a new field in the form in the application dictionary then this is not shown if there is a window personalization. It would be better to show somehow to the user that something has been customized,. Instead of the form personalization icon change, can we change the icon of the saved view button, so that you know that the standard view is overridden? Also have a better hover text on the saved view button saying which view has been applied. And then leave the form button as it is. gr. Martin
