Move from modals to something less constrained

Parent: [EPIC] Collection of minor improvements for a s... (#103 - closed)

Currently we are primarily using modals as part of our UX strategy. While modals are nice for simple forms, they feel rather constrained for use cases that involve complex data, since we essentially give up half of the screen space we have available to us. This also tends to make it difficult to display complicated tables with lots of actions.

Perhaps we could move to a more page-based/inline approach in dealing with editable data. Thanks to the dashboard being built in Vue the act of changing between pages is almost immediate, but it would allow us some more breathing space for designs/complex forms.

Sounds good. The UX of the dashboard was until now not at all a priority, unfortunately. If switching to a page-based or inline approach makes sense for you, go for it.

(This is being implemented gradually as part of other tickets wherever it makes sense)

I think we can close this, because the modals that remain now are the ones that make sense from my point of view. Any other thoughts @david?
