Hi,
I pushed my work. I just tried to add a sub-tab on the table search page,
one for the normal search and the other for zoom search. I just wanted to
get back feedback on whether the design will be okay to proceed?
Please don't mind how I have coded for now, just coded very quickly to get a
basic design of the interface. I'll code it properly after suggestions.
Since user needs to select only two columns in the zoom search page, instead
of listing out all columns I provided two select boxes where user will
select the two columns first and I'll display the field type, collation,
operator and value based on that later. Also since we don't need to display
the results, the options link on that page was removed.
One more thing: For tabs, if I am not providing any link then the mouse
cursor changes to X and they appear as disabled. How to change that?
Regards,
Ammar Yasir

Hi Ammar,
my answer is based on the assumption that the table Search page
is more
known than the multi-table query generator --
it's been my
experience so
far, anyway.
I suggest to add in table Search, Options section a checkbox "Zoom
search"; when checked, another section would reveal itself,
containing
particular options for this feature.
Or the Zoom search checkbox could be always visible, to better
promote it.
Maybe we could put two sub tabs on the table_select page. One will allow
for table search and the other for zoom search.
You can try this, we'll see how it feels. Ensure to avoid duplicating
code, for example in the list of columns in "query by example".

to
guide the
user into selecting exactly two columns. Not sure if the
current "select multiple" control is the best in this case, it's
up to
you to propose something suitable.
However I'm not sure how this would integrate with the
multi-table query
generator.
