You're not really providing enough information that I can make concrete suggestions here. How would the "focus" of the more restricted selection set be determined? The standard options are... (1) If it's something you can work out from other, previously filled in fields on the page, then you could use the 'js' option in the Admin class to add some custom Javascript. See [1] for some useful posts about this possibility. (2) If you want something more interactive and customised, such as clicking on a map or specifying the general area prior to entering any details, then you can write your own form for input. The admin interface provides a reasonably generic input form that works for many cases up to a point. But once you want custom input, particularly for slightly unwieldy data constructs or sizes, it often pays to just knock up a quick custom input form and do it yourself.
