New Refresh Post: New UI for Joins (Include) and Output
The latest refresh post (http://www.foxfirereporting.com/livedesign/ff80.zip) demonstrate two new user interface elements:
1. The Include dialog (formerly the Joins dialog) , now found on the Filter page uses Venn-style diagrams to illustrate the difference between Inner, Left , Right and Full joins.
2. The Output dialog has been substantially redesigned and is still under construction. However, you can get an idea as to our thinking and tell us which one looks better.
The Appearance version uses a grid, which makes the columns more defined (two columns instead of one), but allows us to use a combo box in it directly, making it easier to show multiple options.
The Content version uses a list box, which looks truer to the original diagrams but with the confusing creation of combo boxes (not added yet).
Anyways take a look and let me know.
Thanks
