Description

When handling multiple projects with one Redmine installation, the "Projects" page soon gets rather confusing.
Style wise it is well designed, but this design is not very well suited to display many projects at once.

We are managing a ever growing number of projects with Redmine. The feedback is very positive, except for the projects page, where people are rather confused the first time. After becoming acquainted with it, the feedback gets better, but it is not possible to quickly search for projects.

I know there is the dropdown menu AND the search field, but people tend to use the projects page anyway.

After doing a small poll at work, I made a list of what people think the main problems are
  • you need to scroll, even with a relatively small number of projects
  • distinction between project entries is rather hard
  • it is not possible to reorder the list in any way
Therefore, I am proposing a new view for the projects page. Main features should be
  • compact view with multiple projects on one page (table with some columns perhaps)
  • smaller overall font size
  • description as tooltip or shorter description
  • order by assigned projects first, then alphabetically

Maybe a detailed list view similar to the administrative projects list could be handy too, as could be a switch or menu where the view style can be selected (current view for a small number of projects, new view or list view for many projects).
