Tabs

Filter for inserting media objects from media pool

1 Initial Problem

When users insert a Media Object or Content Snippet into a Learning Module or the Content-tab of a container object, a view on the sub-tab "Folders" is presented: Users cannot search through media objects. This makes working with media objects from media pools very complicated and difficult, especially when there are many media objects in one media pool.

2 Conceptual Summary

It should be possible to use a filter when inserting media objects from a media pool into a page. 
The filter could be the same as the one that already exists in a media pool on the tab "All Media Objects".

Killing, Alexander [alex], 3 Jan 2018: In general I support this. But there is one open question: As you mentioned the filter only works in an "all media files" view, not in the "per folder" navigation. This means, we need to be able to switch between these two modes somehow (like now in the pools). How will this work?

AT 2017-01-04 According to Alexanders comment I adapoted the Mock-Ups to include a View Control Mode to switch between the Views. 

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 10 JAN 2018 : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for 5.4.
