The other thing I noticed in clicking through the workflow on the system with loans enabled is that *returning* the system wasn't very smooth:
- Click Borrow in right hand quick info
- Click Take
- Click Return
- Click Take accidentally(!)
- Click Return again
- Find & Click "Loan" in the tab navigation
- Click Return Loan
So, I'm thinking it may be appropriate to have a split button there in a couple of cases:
I noticed this too... no simple and obvious way to return the loan... which leads us to a lack of systems because people forget to return them, especially when the "take" button changes to "return" it leads me to believe that if I'm done with the box, I can just click "Return" and move on without realizing I didn't actually return the loan. So no better/worse than the old design in this respect, since in the old one it wasn't obvious I had to return the loan either unless I happened to click on my userid.
Yes I agree, we need an equally obvious way to return the loan.
Unfortunately Bootstrap 2 doesn't have block-level button groups, which is what we would need here to make it look right. They were added in Bootstrap 3, I will look into backporting those bits.
