Title vs Menu Text ?

Post by Greg »

I was wondering what others think about this idea.
In the Content Management list show the 'Menu text' as the main identifier instead of the 'Title'.
  • This would result in a shorter description as menu text is usually shorter than titles.[/list:u]
    • Other users would relate the item to what they see in the menu when trying to decide which file to edit.[/list:u]
      • Titles could then be much longer and more descriptive.[/list:u]

I think it makes sense to make this a user-selectable option, like which editor to use.
