view form information from the control panel? - crunchers - May 4th, 2011
Not a major issue (more UI related) but is it possible to sandwich the "Submissions" column between the "Form" and "Who can access" columns within the view section by default? (i.e. for the next release)
I'm finding that a lot of staff members (including myself at times) intuitively click on the form name when requesting to view submission data for a particular form (instead, they're taken to the form itself).
It's not "immediately" intuitive to the user that he/she needs scan across the row and click on the "View" link to access the said information.

Good point! I've found that I do that myself. It's a whole less annoying in 2.1.0, because now it just opens the forms in an (easily closed) dialog window, but it's still unintuitive, I agree.
Aesthetically, I definitely prefer grouping the clickable columns on the right - I did try different combinations and that one seems to work the best.
Hmm... one possibility would be to remove the link altogether and add a small "open in new window" icon next to the form name. That might work...
Anyway, I'll give it some thought and tinker around with it a bit.
