All views in Drupal admin pages require a set of tools that are presented to the user with a consistent visual style and page architecture.
The tools should include
- actions, (usually, but not always, adding a new item)
- filtering
- sorting
- searching
- (filtering on a keyword using an autocomplete text field)
- paging
- bulk operations.
Since all of these things are tools to manipulate a view, they should be designed as a single toolset so we can improve discoverability, reduce anti-patterns and increase user efficiency.
This issue is a "meta, meta" issue since it references other meta issues. Not sure what the implications of that are but there it is.
Issues this relates to:
#1823450: [Meta] Convert core listings to Views
#1823574: [Meta] Improve the Views Bulk Operations (VBOs) that are in core
#1537922: D8UX: Proposal for the Content Manager
#1475204: [META] Provide a generic search/filter UI interface pattern for listing pages
#1910896: Consolidate administrative tables into singular theme callback/component
