From Karl: > Templates – this should be consistent with Admin view. Users may > switch from Basic to Admin view (or vice versa), they will also > interact with users who have a different view or permissions to them. > Neither should have to learn new interfaces and language if possible. > ‘Send a message’ was a nice, active label – but Notify options aren’t > usually actions. If we’re going to change this we should be consistent > across both Admin and Basic views. > For the same reason, I have rejected ‘see’, ‘search’ and ‘view sent > messages’. It will be interesting to see in user testing whether users > read ‘sent messages’ as ‘send messages’.
