Description of the need
As a site builder on a site with a lot of views I want to be able to navigate easily to all views via the admin menu So that I can quickly access the view for editing
When there are a lot of views, then the admin menu goes off the bottom of the page and the lower links can't be used. Core adds some 3 views and the Settings, webform adds 4 views, other modules add views, then the site architect adds a few views and soon you have to go to the listing to find the view; you can't do it from the menu.
Proposed solution
- User (and modules) can add a single tag to each view (not display level) via config and the UI. This could be a taxonomy tag or it could be a very simple word tag with no wider application.
- User access
admin/structure/views
and all tags form a subfolder within the menu - Listing of views allows filtering by tag.
Alternatives that have been considered
Investigated the view api to see if could alter things that way Investigated the menu links to see if could manually create groups but the view listing menu items are dynamically generated.
Is there a Drupal or Backdrop contributed module that accomplishes this? ...if so, then please provide a link.
I don't think so
Additional information
Add any other information or screenshots that would help.
Draft of feature description for Press Release (1 paragraph at most)
Backdrop now includes the ability to group views by a tag for easy sorting within the administration menu and easy filtering on the 'List views' page. Tags are set per view and can be set both by modules creating views and by users creating and editing views.
