MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / November 2005Help UI design with 100+ checkboxes
I need to design a somewhat better user interface for a form I use. At the bottom of the form is 100 check boxes that you have to sift through and figure out which to click. It's something like: Group A checkbox checkbox checkbox GroupB checkbox checkbox checkbox .... So now I'm trying to figure out the best usuable way to design it so that these check boxes don't require you to have to scroll up and down like a mad man. Any ideas? Hi, Instead, you could use a series of repeating tables (1 per group) with drop downs (items in list = caption of checkboxes in that group). This way, users can add items on the fly instead of having to select 3 or 4 out of 100 chekboxes. As a result, your xml will be smaller and the form performance will increase....a lot! Hope that it helps. Regards, Franck Dauché > I need to design a somewhat better user interface for a form I use.
