Re: [IxDA Discuss] Continuous Scroll
Cindy, you mention that > "I observed users > setting the page limit to > max whenever they started an application and > complained why the default was > not the max. When they log in, they want to quickly > scan how their clients > are doing, so they scroll down all the clients' > records and glance some > key data in columns and rows. Perhaps this behavior is because of a poor design of the current system that does not reflect an understanding of end-users? What are the "key data" you are talking about? With the solution you described, you still are leaving it up to the users to scan the data and identify the key information - a potentially frustrating experience with financial professionals. If you understand what the key data are, would it be difficult to display these first, thus mininizing end-user effort? --- Cindy Lu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > I thought this thread of discussion was interesting > so I would like to offer > some comments. > > I am working on an application used by investment > professionals.
