Action Menu: Content and Settings Links
1 Requirements
The use and behaviour of the EDIT link in the Actions menu should be streamlined. In 4.1, the EDIT link directs sometimes to the manage content tab, sometimes to an edit tab.
We made an analysis of the current use of the title and edit link for all repository objects.

4 Discussion
JF 7 Feb 2011: We came to the conclusion that in most cases two action links are needed and useful (see list of proposals on top).
Pascal, 12.07.11
Thank you for this proposal. I like the idea of streamlining this.
AK 3 Oct 2012: We will provide the second step.
5 Implementation
Only Survey and Test object have been changed for 4.2. Inconsistent use of edit links still exists for other objects.
