[Bug 1314020] Re: wishlist: usability: When listing collections to copy list once

 

Thanks, that's awesome Robert and should make it easier.

I was wondering, if copying a collection, why the copy page button
appears? I can copy pages via the copy page function, so, not really
sure why I can copy pages when copying collections?

My colleagues are reporting that some students are not using Mahara even
when asked to as part of an assignment, so I'm focusing on wishlist
items around what can be simplified.

Thanks,
Shane.

Title:
  wishlist: usability: When listing collections to copy list once

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  HI All,

  When copying a collection the collection is listed as many times as the number of pages.
  This results in confusion for staff and students and is hard to write instructions for.
  For example: Search for collection X and copy it.
  Click the "copy collection" button for any of the items in the list that are called X, any page of Collection X will do. Ignore any results where collections are called other things. Collection names are on the left and page names are to the right of them.


  It would be great if when copying collections the collection is shown
  only once, regardless of how many pages it contains, since this
  doesn't really matter.

  Another idea for discussion: In the case of copying templates,
  complexity could be reduced further by eliminating the step where you
  can add other pages, since the template already has the necessary
  pages.

  Thanks,
  Shane.
