Hello,
I would like to be advised on the best presentation (appearance parameter) of the data when using a select_one and the entry is made on a mobile phone (Android)
Thank you
Hello,
May depend partly on the length of the choice list, the content and the page design.
- Short lists, fitting even on one middle-size screen, I would keep all visible (i.e. no special appearance).
- For longer lists, we normally also use no appearence. We prefer that a user can easily scroll down in the whole list. And it seems more robust against tick errors.
Sometimes we add grouping lines, like *** Africa *** in very long country list. We give them systematic choice names like ‘-100’ ‘-200’, to constraint them by regex against final selection.
A disadvantage using apperance for us is, that you will not see the list if you print a form (or submission). (We print the empty form as paper backup for field work, in case of IT problems.)
Furthermore, it depends on whether
you use group-list for questions. Where you want to have more then one question on a screen, you may prefer a condensed choice list appearence.
Finally, you might also discuss the options with your users, even for different form parts, esp. between full list and search option.
