How does it work?

...

  • This sublist contains the best possible widgets for the Question.
  • Usually these are the most used and best fitting widgets for the configuration.
  • Additionally the internal order can also contain a recommendation. The further left the better; except all have the same fitting score.
  • It contains the default widget. This is always the most left one in the recommendation list.

Further Possible

  • Widgets which can be displayed but a) have disadvantages to the recommended widgets or b) are rarely used are part of this list.
  • A disadvantage could be:
    • Uncommon design pattern (e.g. using Radio Buttons for multi selectable Questions)
  • Reasons for rarely used:
    • Widgets which are used for one specific use case which cannot be decided by the configuration itself (e.g. displaying an enumeration list).
    • Widgets which needs additional custom content to to look like expected.
  • All of them have a lover fit score than the widgets from the recommended list and are internally sorted by this score. That means the further left the better.

Not Supported

  • All widgets which are not part of one of the above sublists are placed in this list.
  • These widgets do not fulfill the configuration requirements and as a consequence cannot be used for the Question.
  • That is why this list is not visible in the view.

View Structure

...

The view is segmented into 3 main parts:

  1. Theme Selection
  2. Question Selection
  3. Widget Selection

These segments have a logical order. That means that you should first select the right theme, then the Question and afterwards the widget.

Theme Selection

Each theme contains a different set of widgets. Hence not every widget is available in one theme. Therefore please make sure that you have selected the right theme before you start choosing your widgets.

Info
titleNote

All widget changes are stored automatically after the selection. So do not be afraid to change the theme. No selection will be lost.

Question Selection

On the left-hand side within the blue bordered box you can select a Question. These Questions are structured within a tree layout. That means that like in the Language view you can navigate through the Stages to find the right Question.

Furthermore you can use the search bar to find a Question quicker by typing the name.

Info
titleNote

The corresponding Answer Options are displayed but disabled (means not clickable). They should help you to remember and decide which widget is the most suitable.
