[Agentry 6] UI presentation of drop down list

[Former Member]

hi there,

When we use the drop down list to show a collection or a selection from table/complex table, the typical form is shown below.

On the tablet, a finger touch (even worse with glove on) can easily select the wrong item from the list.

I have seen the drop down list converts to radio button type of selection under special case, e.g., on a pop up tile. In general, how can we change the UI presentation of single item selection from a drop down list to radio button selection to reduce human input error?

Thanks.

Yang,

For complex tables, you can use the CT Search control or if using CT Dropdown, set the selection method to "Always open dialog" on the CT Dropdown tab.  This will always open a dialog that the user will then need to press "Done" on after picking the list entry.  I have not seen the radio button scenario that you mentioned.
