| === Summary ===
| | {{ Moved To Community | KDE_Visual_Design_Group/HIG/SOU Workspace/Rich Lists }} |
| | |
| Rich lists provide more information than just an item's name. They can be used for selection or manipulation of objects.
| |
| | |
| === Solution ===
| |
| | |
| Ask the following questions:
| |
| | |
| 1. Is the main purpose for the rich list to select items for an action to be performed on them later (e.g. by clicking a global action button)?
| |
| * If yes, ask the second question
| |
| * If not, use the [[#Rich Manipulation List|Rich Manipulation List]]
| |
| | |
| 2. Can the user make an informed selection based on icon/preview, title and two lines of description?
| |
| * If yes, use the [[#Rich Selection List|Rich Selection List]]
| |
| * If she wight need more information, use the [[#Rich Manipulation List|Rich Manipulation List]]

| ''Rich Manipulation list with modal buttons, split buttons, collapsed and expanded items.''
| |
| | |
| | |
| All elements of a rich list (beyond the item's name) are optional and should only be used if necessary information for the user. The elements of the list are (from left to right):
| |
| | |
| * Right arrow icon indicating if additional information box is collapsed or expanded (only needed if additional information is available).
| |
| | |
| * Icon representing the item or a graphical preview. Icons or images are optional; be sure to use only if each item has a discrete icon/preview.
| |
| | |
| * Item name.
| |
| | |
| * Short description of item (below item name). Include a description that is more telling than the title. The maximum length is two lines of text.
| |
| | |
| * Additional information (below short description and hidden until item is expanded). A longer description or long meta information etc that is more than two lines of text. It is not advised to go beyond six lines of text.
| |
| | |
| * Action/Split button(s)
| |
| ** If there are two related and mutually exclusive actions, display them in one modal button
| |
| ** If there are two actions that are not mutually exclusive, use two action buttons
| |
| ** If there are three or more actions that are not mutually exclusive, use a split button
| |
| ** Action buttons execute the action immediately

| ''Rich Selection List with checkboxes and info buttons''
| |
| | |
| All elements of a rich list (beyond the item's name) are optional and should only be used if necessary information for the user. The elements of the list are (from left to right):
| |
| | |
| * [[../Checkbox|Checkbox]] or [[../Radio Button|radio button]] (only select; an action is only performed when a global action button is clicked}
| |
| | |
| * Icon representing the item or a graphical preview. Icons or images are optional; be sure to use only if each item has a discrete icon/preview.
| |
| | |
| * Item name.
| |
| | |
| * Short description of item (below item name). Include a description that is more telling than the title. The maximum length is two lines of text.
| |
| | |
| * Information Button (i). Use to display additional information in a separate window.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Below the list there is at least one button to perform an action using the selected item(s).
| |
| | |
| If you need the possibility to display more information or other actions than selection, use a [[#Rich Manipulation List|Rich Manipulation List]].
