Hi all, I've recently joined this list so hope I have followed the standard etiquette for posting messages.
Does anyone have any recommendations of sites using a technique for a registered user to switch their view of a website from job-specific to 'show all'. So if a user chooses to view the site as their registered job role of 'Travel Writer', whilst they will be able to access all the content on the site, role-specific articles will be promoted more heavily within the site pages. If the user chooses to 'View all' then the content emphasis changes to a more level approach. Would you suggest a simple dropdown box in the header of the site be sufficient? If so this would only have options of - Your role (Travel Writer) - View all Is this adding in an unnecessary option of 'your role' as a user wouldn't be able to switch to it as it is their current state. Though we could highlight it to show it is the current active state. We would also have a visual indicator above the drop-down indicating their current view. I'm thinking a simple text link would not really be strong enough to illustrate how you can change the content emphasis. Interested to hear the groups thoughts on this. Also if it is a dropdown list, what's the consensus on Go buttons? The audience would be parents and medical professionals. Many thanks, Nik ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
