Change Details

rP035d7b288444b39904c02eccab01bebcaf3e0a4f made me remember some parts of our userbase who are not ncessarily aware of the Maniphest query interface but more used to the user profile view, the Maniphest single-task view, and the project workboard view. These users might not have a developer-centric point of view but a contributor point of view (reporting tasks, not fixing tasks). For example, our community member in https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Phabricator/Help&oldid=6853629 expected the "Tasks" menuitem on their user profile page not to link to tasks assigned to them, but tasks reported by them. I'm not sure such folks would find their way to the Maniphest search that easily (think of user journeys and number of clicks required). Furthermore, I think adding adjectives (such as "assigned", "authored", "received" to most menu items would further decrease ambiguity. Thus I've been thinking for a while to add a second Tasks entry. Here's a quick mockup (local code is working, just need to clean up): {F2980901} Would this make sense to all y'all? Open question is probably how much "Tasks" are one of the most central things in Phorge, and whether to add similar items for Revisions and/or Commits entries. But one step at a time.

I'm not sure such folks would find their way to the Maniphest search that easily (think of user journeys and number of clicks required). I do know though that "I need to quickly find that task I myself filed a while ago" is a common use case but the Feed on the user profile page is noisy and does not support pagination.
