3 Discussion

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], May 23, 2016: We had a longer discussion of the both related feature requests Remove Info Tab For Selected Object Types  and Improve Info-Tab for Selected Objects. But we unable to find a solution and therefore postpone the discussion. Objections are:

• With a general removal of the Info page we get lost of a screen that exists for every object and could be improved in the future (Cover paradigm).
• We loose the only place user could be dumped to in case of emergency.
• Notes and comments should have an own place to be presented outside the Actions dropdown.
• The suggestion to make the presentation of the Info page configurable per object is considered by some as even worse.
• The suggestion to show object information like "Object ID" or "Created by" on a "Properties" tab in Settings is not accepted by all. Info page should not only focus on the "learner" but also on the "teacher".
• All objects with custom metadata and LOM metadata would have no place anymore to present this data if the Info screen disappears.
