Add Content Button (Manual fori)

What is the ‘Add content’ button for?

Many tables are designed to be expandable for the content that a user needs to add to a template. This might be adding a row for each asset in a Fixed Asset Register. Or it could be adding directors to a directors table.

The ‘Add content’ button is a button that is positioned close to the table allowing users to manually add new ‘fori’s’.

Note that tables can also be setup as ‘automatic fori’s’. This means that the users don’t manually add content themselves, there is always one extra blank fori automatically add whenever a user fills in the previous fori._

Contents:

• Button position
  • Data tables
  • Rows vs columns
  • Form tables
  • Summary tables
• Button label
• Consistent use across a workflow

Positioning the 'Add content' button

Row based tables

Tables where the add content buttons adds rows to the bottom.

Columns based tables

Tables where the add content buttons adds columns to the end.

Form based tables

Tables where the add content buttons large ‘form’ like sections.

Summary tables

Tables where the add content buttons large ‘form’ like sections and have a condensed summary table above it for summarising the information and providing quick navigation.

Button label

Where possible provide a simple, descriptive label that clear tells the user what the button will add. Examples:

Consistent use across workflows

If you choose a mixture of automatic fori’s and manual fori’s for tables you should apply them consistently across your workflow content.

If you use the button for a template with a ‘form’ like table. It is best to use this consistently across all templates with similar form like tables. Avoid arbitrarily using automatic fori’s for some and manual fori’s for others.
