back button in browser

[opto]

I tried to post this a few days ago, when the question came up. But something went wrong.

Maybe it is still of interest,

Klaus

The back button in a browser, in my opinion, is only back. I would not expect it to cancel a transaction, only to redisplay the previous webpage. I don't think it cancels anything in other webpages that I use.
Preferably with the previous form entries would be still in it.

Cancel a transaction or delete would be a separate action. In some bookkeeping, delete would not be allowed anyway (e.g. in Germany), rather, one needs a second transaction that corrects (neutralises) the first.

This is for the bookkeeping, but would not necessarily touch other transactions (MRP, delete a supplier which is not used in any other transaction, etc.)

this is certainly a subject to review!!!

too many pages have only "back" as an option to get out. this should not
be the case.

cheers,

It would be nice to be able when look at a detail screen to be able to go "back" to the search list screen.  This is one major UI unhappiness I find with weberp.

Hi Klaus,

You are right, that's how things should be.

"Cancel a transaction or delete would be a separate action. In some
bookkeeping, delete would not be allowed anyway (e.g. in Germany), rather,
one needs a second transaction that corrects (neutralises) the first."

That has to do with the native transaction properties of every SQL RDBMS
called with the acronymous ACID for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and
Durability. The Durability native property prohibits a transaction to be
undone as you have correctly explained. I'm only clarifying that this is for
every client/server system. In contrast, Local Databases (a.k.a. X-Base)
implement another kind of write methods.

Many thanks for your feedback,
javier
