In our EVO application, subjects contain screen types with a grid above and a form with detailed information below the grid. Both screen parts have their own taskbar.
Multi-selecting lines in the grid is a valuable option. Tasks are also regularly applied in combination with a process flow, in this case the selected records are first collected in an xml.
There are situations where it is desirable that a task can only start on the form and not in the grid. Because some tasks are not suitable for use in combination with multi-select.
At this moment it’s not clear to end users whether a task will work properly with multi-select or not.
To improve the user experience we want to be able to configure the place from which the task may be started:
• Always (grid, form, ribbon), this is now the default.
• Only in the grid.
• Only in the form.
• Only in the ribbon.
The placement of the task icons in the taskbar should respond to these settings. So if a task may only be started in the grid, the task icon should not appear in the form. And vice versa.
