TD 15: The selection of a topic should be auto cleared after previewing it

Use case: One of our users selected version 12 of a topic to preview. When they went back to the original window, version 12 was still selected and they could select an additional version (version 11), as shown in the screen shot below. The writer was surprised that version 12 was still selected and that they could no longer see the preview button.

  • Hello Christina, 

    Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. The Organize Space supports batch actions, and checkboxes are provided for selecting multiple items to perform these actions. For individual selections, you can simply click on the next item's line (outside of the checkboxes) on the screen. This allows you to easily choose a specific object for preview or further actions.

  • There might be use cases when a user first wants to preview a PHIO and then as a second step wants to perform any other actions on that PHIO, e.g. adjusting properties or something else.

    In case the selection is cleared after having the preview it could be very annoying to again select the correct PHIO, especially when many languages are used and version numbers grow.

    Finding the checkbox in use may be easier.

  • Can we enhance this feature by having the selection of a topic be auto cleared after previewing it?
