Inventory UI for consistent language and layout between Collections and Works
Descriptive summary
Throughout the UI there are inconsistencies in buttons, links, and action labels. For example, in the Dashboard Collections area the button says "New Collection" and in the Dashboard Works area the button says "Add new work"
Inventory the UI to find inconsistencies. Write tickets with proposed solutions.
Example:
- Dashboard -> Works uses
Add new work
- Dashboard -> Collections uses
New Collection
Listed from high to low priority.
- Limit to Dashboard -> Works and Collections (highest priority)
- Work and Collection show pages. NOTE: Collections has an admin show page and a public show page. Work only has one show page that serves both.
- Could explore FileSet show page as well.
Inconsistent dates in Dashboard listings:
- Dashboard -> Collections - has column Last Modified
- Dashboard -> Works - has column Date Added
This may impact work on Issue #5486 which proposes sorting dashboard tables with most recently updated resources first.
@jlhardes and I discussed order of columns. Seems like this order would be best:
- Work -- Title, Last Date Modified, Highlight, Visibility
- Column -- Title, Collection Type, Last Date Modified, Items, Visibility
There is a question about impact of sorting on future Blacklight/Bootstrap .

@elrayle Are these inconsistent? I tested Last Modified for collections, and that is accurate. Are we sure that this should be "Last Modified" for Works?

@sdellis I just edited a work i had added last week and it is definitely showing the date added, not the date modified. If we want these to be consistent we'll need to change both the label and the behavior.
