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?

  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. teradome answered: I’d much rather see drag handles for reordering, moving an action two places requires too many clicks and menu opens.
  4. 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.
  5. lorenbaxter answered: Fewer dialogues: Yes!
