The mockup is very helpful, thank you! Pagination is optional but can be there. If the capability for adding a message at the top of the collection is not there, we can talk to Jerry to add it. I will ask him if this is already possible or if we need to do some work to make it possible.

From Jerry:

The ability to have messages is present. You just add error, info, or warning message to the GlobalVariables.getMessageMap(), and associate it with the ID of the collection group. We will need to add functionality to the maintenance framework for tracking which records have been deleted, or compare the lists (old and new) for each request and build the messages.

I would question the ‘Undo delete’ link on the message. That is increasing the scope and is not something they can currently do (they can just cancel the document).

I agree with Jerry on the increase of scope for undo, so I have created KULRICE-12837 to handle that as an improvement. It was not possible in the KNS and thus is not an equivalency item.

As far as solving the issue, I think the message only has to be there immediately after the deletion is done, so we may not have to track records or compare lists as Jerry suggests. Again, this issue will not include the undo action, so only the message has to be included.

Conversation with Kristina regarding issue:

[6/23/2014 2:04:05 PM] Shannon Hess: Question on  KULRICE-5284 -- The message should be optional?  So by default no message when a collection line is deleted?
[6/23/2014 2:29:04 PM] Shannon Hess: It seems to me it would be a good message to always display.
[6/23/2014 2:31:14 PM] Kristina B. Taylor: What Jerry meant is that the message for the text should be configurable.
[6/23/2014 2:32:32 PM] Shannon Hess: ok, that makes sense - Right now I have the default text as "An item from {0} was successfully deleted."  ex - "An item from subAccounts was successfully deleted."
[6/23/2014 2:33:26 PM] Kristina B. Taylor: See if you can follow the mockup a bit closer, like "You have deleted..."
[6/23/2014 2:33:41 PM] Kristina B. Taylor: I'm not sure how critical the phrasing is.
[6/23/2014 2:35:36 PM] Shannon Hess: Ok, I can make it "You have deleted an item from subAccounts"   But you are also saying that there needs to be a way for a user to enter in whatever they want?
[6/23/2014 2:36:02 PM] Kristina B. Taylor: I think he just meant to put it as a key in ApplicaitonResources.properties like we do all our other messages.

The fix for this has been completed. The message uses the collection label in the message when a line is deleted (not the collection name as shown above in the conversation with Kristina). example : You have deleted an item from Sub Accounts.

Using the phrase "You have ... " is very rare in the Kuali Rice code. It the phrasing is not critical, it may be better to change the message to something like "An item from Sub Accounts was successfully deleted."

I'll also attach some screen shots to show what it looks like.
