The expected behavior of the user interface is as follows:

  • When a user has an item selected and then selects a different item, he should be prompted to save any changes that have been made to the current item.

  • When a user has unsaved changes in an item and then closes the application, the user should be prompted to save the file.

  • The "Save" buttons and menu items should always be available for items since a user may choose to update a page even if it hasn't changed but because the links will change when rebuilt.

  • When a domain is selected, only the New Domain and New Group buttons/menu items should be enabled.

  • The New Item button/menu items should only be enabled when a group is selected.

  • The View Resources window should hide when a group is selected, and it should be updated automatically when a new item is selected.
