Improvement Suggestion: naming of Tabs

Hello M-Files,

An improvement suggestion regarding the naming of Tabs: I am just wondering if there is any appetite or intention to allow Admins to rename Tabs, or if a general rename of Tabs is considered by M-Files?

Some users have said to me that they think "Recent" means any documents that have been recently added to the system (in general these are new users, but even more 'experienced' didn't realise that "Recent" is actually an overview of things recently accessed/actioned by them). When I considered this I tend to agree with them.

"History" or "My History" might be more obvious to users as well as consistent with other apps such as internet browsers etc.

Additionally, "Pinned" is somewhat obsolete terminology now since the "Pinboard" was something that was a feature mainly of the old UI. It might be obvious if this tab was called "Favourites", or something like that.

Also, shouldn't "All" be now called "Views" since that's what it only shows??

Have a nice weekend!

Patrick.

  • I think you could technially do it with some UI programming shenanigans, but otherwise yeah. Even though I can't imagine people not understanding history, or recent, I agree with the proposed possibility to change tab names like All, Pinned, etc.

    Also sweise has a good idea to remap buttons to different views or to add additional tabs. Again, probably possible with programming, but that shouldn't be the answer for most admins or users.
