Picture a warehouse with billions of locations (>32bit uint limit),
each location can be either full or empty, a full location can be one
of multiple categories. A warehouse employee needs to be able to a)
pull up a manifest of each individual location and b) create a
(ordered) shipping list of containers. The shipping list is not
constrained by weight but by what the manifest for each container says
and while it can be automated to a degree, it requires a manual
interaction.
So each line of control 1 would represent the number of containers
control 2 can hold and can be one of {full, partially full, empty},
where as control 2 would show each individual location that could
store a container which can be dragged and placed into control 3 to
create an ordered shipping list.
I was thinking of using a scrollable view for control 1 and a
collection view for both of controls 2 and 3, but didn't want to
"poison" the recommendation pool... Incidentally, there is no need to
remember which locations were selected in control 2 once the sliding
window of control 1 is moved.
