Question

Sometimes when some feature requires many different settings, they are written in a cloze-like text, where the gaps (=variables) are displayed as comboboxes or hyperlinks which open some kind of lookup list.

Example:

If the available space is less than [10%/5%/1MB/...] then [send e-mail to admin/play a sound/...]

The Outlook rules wizard is another good example of this.

What's the name of this UI pattern?

Was it helpful?

Solution

From browsing existing patterns sites it seems this is maybe a mix of >1 pattern?

Fill in the Blanks (see also)

Input Prompt

Constraint Input

Personally, I think you've maybe even hatched a pattern and should submit it somewhere... :-)

OTHER TIPS

I think that's a "Table Filter"

at least thats what we called it when I worked on a clone of that outlook rules wizard.

'Rule editor', perhaps? That's the OS X term, anyway.
