Drill Down Menu for Page Editor

1 Initial Problem

The menu for adding content elements is long and only one-stepped. 

2 Conceptual Summary

• A add-new-content glyph (+) provokes a drill-down-menu offering content elements.
• Entries of the drill-down are clustered, to support users finding the elements relevant to their objective. Clustering is administered in the general administration > Editing > ILIAS Page Editor > General. The control is modelled after the Groupings in Respository > Object Types. This allows for Content elements which are not used most often, to be clustered into a separate group allowing to switch into a deeper level of the menu (drill-down menu)
• Either a user adds content element (f.e. text) or drills deeper into the menu (>) choosing a desired type of an element (f.e. paragraph). This allows advanced user to quickly add the specific content element, if several types of this content element is available.
