Axure for Mac
A Better Dialog

As we’re converting dialogs, we’re also looking for opportunities to improve them. One feature that uses a lot of dialogs (ahem… maybe too many) is building interactions.

Currently, the Interaction Case Properties dialog has two modes: basic and advanced. The basic editor is nice because you can see all the available actions right away and can add actions with one click. The advanced editor is nice because you can add as many of a type of action as you like and order them as needed.

The goal is to combine the benefits of the basic and advanced modes into one AND reduce the number of nested dialogs.

Here is a video of a prototype (created in Axure RP) of a proposed new design for the Interaction Case Properties dialog.

So, what do you think?

  1. Mark DiSciullo answered: Very Cool…using Axure to prototype Maxure!
  2. fredbeecher answered: Kick. Ass. I think this will go a long way toward a cure for Axure Finger. : ) One thing I’d suggest though is drag & drop reordering.
  3. Paul answered: when will you be releasing for mac?
  4. teradome answered: I’d much rather see drag handles for reordering, moving an action two places requires too many clicks and menu opens.
  5. flyingyogi answered: Step in the right direction! The current editor is powerful but badly thought out in terms of UI. Add a print interaction feature as well.
  6. duduloureiro answered: one question - how make this behavior on text form?
  7. quebarbaro answered: Fewer dialogues: Yes!
  8. Eduardo Loureiro answered: create groups for organize the actions is a very good idea
  9. Joshua C answered: That looks very nice! It def removes a lot of the popup modals that the current one has. Hopefully this would be included with Windows ver?
