Here's a recap of a live one-hour design session in which Benoît ( / bmeunier ) and Ceara ( / cearacrawshaw ) attempted to design a user interface that first asks users to select item categories with checkboxes, then displays category-specific options based on their selection, all while maintaining a clean and efficient interface.
This question was first posed by blueSurfer on UX Stack Exchange: link.penciland...
00:24 Question
01:01 Problem statement
2:05 Hypothesis
Blue Surfer asked about categorizing an item and revealing category-specific options. As a driver in need of insurance, the user must provide all specific information about his car, including sub-categories of information, so that the insurer can provide him an appropriate price.
The solution involves looking at conditional logic, checkboxes, and progressive disclosure to ensure that only relevant information is exposed. The categories may be mutually exclusive or cumulative, thus adding to the problem's complexity. The progressive disclosure concept seeks to be robust and to offset the disadvantages of displaying information on the fly.
However, Benoit and Ceara's technique entails employing an empty state to represent action, reaction, and repercussions associated with the question asked. The success feedback is nearby, and the user can access the follow-up inquiry via a hyperlink if he so desires. This method emphasizes proactive communication and a clearer picture of the expectations.
