Editing a field

  • Hovering a field makes an "Edit" icon appears + associated title

  • Selecting the field to be edit - a popup Dialog appears
  • The dialog separates the primary action (Save) from the secondary action (Cancel) 
  • Alternative: In place edit

Darker item text

The idea was to make user browse the results using hover:

  • concentration on a specific item was done by providing contrast with the rest of the items (font-color + background-color)
  • hovering the entries makes "editing" function easy to discover (the appearence of the edit icon)
  • links were better visible (separation between what is editable and what takes you to other pages)
