IBM Content Navigator - Content List Grid Checkbox

  • 1.  IBM Content Navigator - Content List Grid Checkbox

    Posted Tue November 15, 2022 06:32 PM
    After enabling check box to the content list grid, the row is not getting selected on clicking any columns (like it used to work before). User can select the row only using check box which seems to be accessibility issue. Any solution to resolve this issue ?

    Hi Mohan -

    Can you offer a bit more detail and possibly screenshots?  Can you give the working vs non-working ICN build levels?  More detail will give us a better opportunity to assist.

    Thanks,

    -Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Please refer to attached video. 

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Go to Desktop settings and enable "Content list checkboxes" as "Show"
    2. Navigate to Browse View.
    3. click on any columns in a row from the content list grid.
    4. verify that row is not getting selected and Actions button in the toolbar is not enabled.
    5. row is selected only after checking the checkbox (1st column). actions button is enabled only after checking the checkbox.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Mohan -

    Thanks for the added data.  This is expected. 

    The row checkbox feature was designed specifically to be the mechanism used to bring focus to the row.  The feature was designed as a result of complications or one off issue that resulted from maneuvering through the result list and attempting to select the rows using natively supplied keyboard and mouse controls (Shift+Select, CNTRL-A, etc).  These means to manage row focus were not always consistent to end users.  The checkboxes are a way to ensure that row has been selected.  We do not view this as a defect or issue we need to resolve as it is the behavior of the designed feature.

    Any solution to bring back the old behavior to select the row on single click along with the check box feature?

    Hi Mohan -

    There is no plan to revert the current behavior.  This was a conscious design change, as I detailed.  Focus is brought to the row only by selecting the checkbox.

    Yes, I understand that this is expected behavior. But do you suggest any fix at our end to select the row on single click (old behavior) with having the check box as well.

    Maybe this was never discussed but you can turn it off for the desktop settings -> Layout tab -> bottom of the page:


    My interpretation of the concern was that you wanted the checkboxes but also retain the row focus of the cursor click, which is not possible.

    Yes, I dont want to hide the checkbox. I need this checkbox but also need to single click row feature.

    OK.  This is not possible, unfortunately.  It is counterintuitive to the grid checkbox design choice.
