Summary

The user has to select from a pool of items or options. What items are displayed and their order or sequence may have some relevance to the user.

In some cases this list must be accessed on a regular basis, on others very rarely.

Examples

[Small wireframes of picker and two-lists]

Solution

Determine when the user will need to access the pool of available items.
