The most common implementation of such a feature which I see everyday is the tagging system. As you continue typing, the ajax search is on and you can see results popping up.
Img 1: You can select from the results or type in the entire thing.
Img 2: Or, you can add your own tag in a similar manner and it will accept the tag and add it in the system for ...

The asymmetrical design of the analog sticks is based on ergonomics and the typical use case. The left stick is at the neutral position for your left thumb, while the buttons on the right are at the neutral position for your right thumb. The vast majority of the time, you will be using the left stick and right buttons, so it makes sense that they are ...

By adding the + sign, it is counter intuitive as the user would have to click the drop down, read through the options and determine none of the options listed apply. Then click the + and provide the value.
I would suggest adding a 'Other' or 'add new' entry in the drop down list. This would mean that the user would scan the list of drop down items, find ...

Top-left seems to be the ideal position for the "Back" button due to the following reasons:
All traditional and modern PC browsers have it there. There is almost no learning curve.
This would seem much more native on tablets than mobile. But you will have an advantage of efficient scaling up of UI since Back button won't change its position across ...

This is most often handled by contact applications, and Gmail contacts does a good job with this. Essentially, you provide a discrete button to "add email address", which then will provide another field to add a second address.
This way you don't distract the majority of users that will only add a single email address, but you make it clear for ...

I would use a drop down with auto-correct showing the existing alternatives, while the user is typing - and they could select from that drop down or create their own... depending how much you want them to pay attention to first trying to select an existing alternative.
I like the tagging idea from RK as well

It's an ergonomics matter. The upper control faces are the fallow areas where the thumbs rest, and the contain the most important controls - controls for movement (which need analogue stick control because of the prevalence of 3D environments) and controls for core player actions (which involve discrete events that map directly to buttons). Meanwhile the ...

Ok, based on what I understand of the problem now, I'd consider something like this:

This would be the design per cell in your planning grid. The idea is to show the employees working that day directly in the cell, and you can add new employees to the list from a little popup that ...

There are few different ways you could takle this problem:
Drag and drop (drag the employee to the day you want them to work)
In Days boxes have drop-down with employee names
Select an employee and then click on all days/slots that you want them to work so you dont have to select the employee multiple times
Select the days/slots and then select an employee ...

If the purpose of this email field is purely as an addressee for whom you want to send the report to, then why not mimic a traditional email application (as that's basically what the form is doing itself).
Give it a 'To' field which would be the compulsory field, and add a 'CC' field in there too, so they can add one or more additional email addresses in ...

What you're experiencing are the two main issues with modal windows: they break the flow, causing a certain level of disorientation, and they don't stack well.
You should try to use a master-detail view pattern that has the list of items in the same window as the detail of a single item. This solves one level of navigation and will also allow users to more ...

The simplest method that covers all use cases is to have a floating header (a header that is always on top of the screen) and have the 'back' button there.
This way it's always available and always in the same place, which means less thinking for users. Additionally, it mimics the interaction of most mobile devices

You can put it in both places.
I imagine the hypothetical situation where a user gets to the page, realizes he/she's looking for something else and decides to go back. Top would be better for this scenario. But it could also be that the user reads the information, gets to the bottom and decides to go back. Bottom works better in this case.
Alternatively, ...
