Customizable Multi-Option Checkbox for Asset Layout Fields in Hudu
E
Ellie S.
Objective:
- Enhance Hudu’s current checkbox asset layout field to support customizable multiple selectable options, providing users with more flexibility when documenting assets.
Feature Overview:
Multi-Option Checkbox:
- Allow users to define multiple checkbox options within a single asset layout field.
- Users can select one or multiple options as needed, rather than being limited to a single binary checkbox.
Example Use Case:
- Enable users to create simple easy checkboxes for visibility convivence or create multiple ones for one field.
- Allow similar use cases where multiple characteristics or statuses need to be tracked within the same field.
User Interface Enhancements:
- In the asset layout editor, provide a configuration area where multiple checkbox options can be added.
- In the asset view, display all available options with checkboxes for easy selection.
Why This Matters:
- Reduces reliance on dropdown menus or list selects for simple multi-option selections.
- Simplifies documentation workflows by allowing more intuitive data entry.
- Improves clarity when documenting complex assets that require multiple attributes to be selected.
Potential Configuration Options:
- Enable “Multi-Option” mode when creating or editing a checkbox field.
- Allow users to define option labels (e.g., "Primary", "Backup", "Secondary", etc.).
- Add validation rules to control how many options can be selected if needed.
Outcome:
- This feature would give users greater flexibility in documenting assets, reduce complexity in asset layouts, and improve the overall user experience within Hudu.
