Suggested UI improvement to creating Activities
February 27, 2012, 04:48:15 am
When creating an Activity there is a field 'Component' for which the options are
  • Contact
  • CiviCase
In fact this is a bit confusing because if you choose 'Contact' then the Activity Type can be used anywhere, in Contacts or in Cases, but if you choose ''CiviCase' then the Activity Type cannot be created outside of Cases.
The choices for that UI might be better as
  • all
  • CiviCase only
What do we think?    :-\

Mark - This makes sense to me as well. I filed an issue (hopefully for you to work on during code sprint): http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-9759

I've suggested a slightly more "radical" change to the language. See what you think.

1. Relabel field from "Component" to "Usage"

2. Relabel options to:
- Contacts OR Cases
- Cases Only
