Hi Bill, Just wanting your thoughts on a good alternative to the
disable result column checkbox on ticket51.
The only reasonable alternative I can come up with is the following.
Initially, in the checkbox list of result columns, have our default columns selected
(System,Status,Vendor...etc).
Have another link up the top that allows them to populate that checkbox list with only
default values (so they
can easily go from a heavily customised result set back to the default).
I'm trying to make it easy for the user to go between a customised search result and
a default search result. If
they wanted to go between the two quite often it could get fiddley if they had to do it
all manually. Maybe I'm
overstating this feature though.

Hi Raymond,
Here are my thoughts on testing ticket51 so far.
- Default to having all current columns selected. (The ones we normally
show)
- Have three "shortcut" links, Select All, Select None, and Select Default.
- move these to under the checkbox div. I don't think we want to
see them unless we are actually clicking and unclicking checkboxes.
Users will be confused otherwise.
- Remove the "Disable Custom Result Columns" checkbox
Assuming we can get the above correct then we could just have one code
path for the grid.
It would also allow a user to set their preferred columns in prefs.
btw - while testing I received a 500 ISE when selecting
System/PowerType. I think this blows up because of the nested
Power->Type relation. Might need to move PowerType to a Power search
object which has Type in it. thoughts?
Thanks!
