Defaults for new Mass Mailing UI, layout/label question
January 09, 2015, 05:32:11 am
In the new mass mail UI (Under Mailings ... New Mailing)  the defaults for "Track Click Throughs" and "Track Opens" has been changed NOT to track those items by default. (In 4.5.x and earlier, those were defaulted as on) Also the default access on who can see the mailing has changed to "Public"   Is there a way to change the defaults so that this is consistent with earlier versions? 

Also the tab label "Publication" seems confusing, could that tab label be changed to "Access" That way this is consistent with the new 4.6 tabs for Reports.  (The settings located on the "publication" tab is controlling who has access to the mailing, not when its to be published)

You might be the first to have noticed the report UI changes. Nice thinking :)

I really like the new tabbed layout for reports. On the label consistency topic: The tab label in the new Report UI is "filters" yet for searches the word "Criteria"  is used instead.   Can you pick one word and use it for both reports and searches?

That also sounds like a good change. Can you submit a PR for both suggestions?

Also the default access on who can see the mailing has changed to "Public"

This default was changed in 4.5. One of the reasons was that unless the access is "Public" links like "view this email in your browser" fail because of access issues.
