            Bug ID: 35109
           Summary: Inconsistencies when a task is added to background
                    jobs
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5 - low
         Component: Staff interface
          Assignee: koha-bugs at lists.koha-community.org

The way the interface informs the user that what they just did was added to a
background job is inconsistent throughout Koha.

I wrote how to get to each type of job and what it does below, but here are the
highlights:
- The message is almost always on a new page, except when creating local titles
in ERM or cancelling holds
- The message is always "The job has been enqueued! It will be processed as
soon as possible." except when creating local titles in ERM module
- The link to the job is always "View details of enqueued job" except when
creating local titles in ERM module
- There is sometimes a link to do a new batch or return to where we were before
in the blue message box, sometimes it is underneath the box, sometimes it is a
button instead of a link (and sometimes all three at the same time)
- There is never a progress bar except when staging records
- There is almost never a redirection to job details when the job is done
except  when importing records or reverting an import

Proposed changes (open to discussion):
- Put the message on a new page when importing eHolding titles, with a
link/button to go back
- Put the message on a new page when canceling holds, with a link/button to go
back
- Put the message on a new page when cancelling holds, with a link/button to go
back
- Change message when importing eHolding titles to "The job has been enqueued!
It will be processed as soon as possible."
- Change the link when importing eHolding titles to "View details of enqueued
job"
- Choose either a link in the message box, a link under the message box or a
button to return to where we were or make a new batch, but not all three, and
make it consistent 
- If possible add a link to go back where there is none
- Choose either to have a progress bar or not (I prefer the progress bar
personally) and make it consistent
- Choose to redirect automatically or not (I prefer redirection, fewer clicks)
and make it consistent, although this might depend on the workflow
- Place 'View batch' link next to the view detail link when staging records

I can also make separate bug reports if needed, but I thought it interesting to
have them all in one to compare and see the differences.
