Hi
I’ve been using the interactions manager to achieve custom hide/show based on this TAP Revisited - #28 by chicuelo
There are a few things that I have found frustrating and they are all kinda related UI/UX issues.
Focus.
Clicking into the tiny little input areas and then moving your cursor so you can see the tiny little box immediately removes focus from the tiny little box.
Tiny Little Box
If you have more than a few characters to put into the input areas it is really annoying to scroll back and forward. So I thought I’d stretch out the size of the Interactions Manager window. That just left me with a big Interaction Manager window and tiny little input boxes.
Find / Replace
If you are doing highly repetitive work and have named IDs in a consistent manner it’s a real pain to find each and every ID and rename it, when Find ID name Replace ID name would make it a two second job.
Tab Control
Movement between fields is entirely mouse based which is a pain especially in light of the above.
Manager Window refresh
There seems to be a refresh bug in the interaction manager. If you duplicate an interaction then move it down the manager the name gets confused. If you open and rename the copied interaction sometimes the manager panel doesn’t refresh.
Auto sort of the Manager Window
Sort the interactions by name, or some categorisation of the manager window as it gets out of control quite quickly.
Otherwise it’s been great to do stuff that would otherwise require javascript.
There’s a few things that I’d find really useful like if a selector field had a value (useful for those Choose A B C or Other to then unhide and set required an open text field to explain other)
If / Else rather than just If.
Really useful, thanks
