Roles - Look and Feel

 As a part of our overall improvement to the style of Educonnex, the Roles screen has been updated to the more modern card view used in the newer modules of Educonnex

Menu items have also been replaced with icons to bring it more into line with the Community Member modules. 

Action icons have been updated

You can view the name of a menu item by hovering over the icon.

Alternatively, if you preferred the old Educonnex view, you can click the menu view toggle icon see the names of the menu items. These have also been updated with a scroll bar in order to better fit smaller screens.

Enhancements

The following enhancements have been made as a part of this release:

Roles and Permissions 

You can now copy an existing role for modification, by clicking the action overflow menu within a role and selecting Copy Role. This will create a new role with the same permissions of the existing role which can then be edited. 

Delete and Disable options have been removed for Roles and replaced with a Deactivate option, which is available within a role under the action overflow menu. 

Updated Module Icons

As a part of our styling enhancements and to reduce duplication, some of the existing Educonnex icons have been updated. As we move further through this process, other icons may also be updated.
