Browsing a data table with scroll bar or paging? Can you describe the user's goal when interacting with the table? I'm asking because: (1) scrolling or paging is irrelevant if the user is looking for one specific row - search is better, (2) sorting then scrolling is suitable for scanning contiguous rows to find a group of records or understand the nature of the data, (3) paging is suitable for scanning too but the page breaks interrupt the process and, at 4 rows per page, scanning 300 rows will be tedious. Also, paging was created because loading all of the data into a table was difficult. 300 rows should fit into a single table. |

Should yes/no dialogs also have a cancel? Anther related questions Should I use Yes/No or Ok/Cancel on my message box? with links to the Microsoft and Apple UX guidelines and examples from those guidelines. If your application runs on Windows then you should follow those guidelines regardless of the advice you receive here - except for this advice of course :). |

Inputting percentages - in decimal or whole number form? I agree. The field label should include the % symbol or the word 'percent'. The field value should not contain the % sign. Also, converting a decimal value to a % prevents the user from entering x.x%. Perhaps that type of value is not a valid value but the question does not describe this constraint. |

What is the best way to get a UX/UI team to adopt standards? The goal of adopting standards will affect the methods you use for adopting standards. Two possible goals are (1) brand consistency (as mentioned in the question), (2) code reuse, thereby achieving faster time-to-market and easier maintenance. The two goals are complementary. The second is more likely to achieve longer lasting UI standardization. |

Section 508 Compliance for .msg files The .msg file is not 508 compliant on its own because it is not readable by any application other than Outlook or an an application written to open it. If your visitors are using Outlook then the answer is Yes because Outlook is 508 compliant. If they are using another application to open .msg files then the answer depends on the application they use. |

Has anyone got experience of Feng GUI and been able to test it against real users? <continued from previous comment> (1) Go to Amazon with the intent of buying a Kindle. Consider the gaze path for completing this task. (2) Go to Amazon with the intent of buying the book 'The Narrative of Cabeza de Vaca'. Consider the gaze path for completing this task. Most likely, these are different gaze paths. Unless Feng GUI allows you to specify the user's goal then the gaze path analysis is unlikely to tell you anything useful regarding eye tracking as it relates to task completion. |

Has anyone got experience of Feng GUI and been able to test it against real users? I'm skeptical. Perhaps the 'attention analysis' has some value because. As mentioned above, it is predictive model based on salience of page elements based on size, contrast, and location. Yet it is one of many possible predictive models of attention to visual stimuli. I doubt the 'Gaze Plot' has any value. A gaze path is determined as much by the users task as it is by the visual elements on the page. Try this thought experiment. <continued in the next comment because I am running out of room.> |

Appropriate color for updated row data Could you provide more information about the way the app handles the transition of data through the three(?) states: (1) old data (2) new data (3) no longer new data but not the same as the value in state 1. I'm asking because the system's behavior will determine the number of rows highlighted as 'new' at any time. The number of 'new' rows will affect your choice of highlight scheme. |

Column headers in a table functioning as input boxes for filtering @Girish - I did not mean to imply the design suggested in the answer was identical to Oracle's - although it is very easy to see why my comment suggests that very thing. I meant to say "This is similar to Oracle's design." The similarity is the location of the input boxes in or near the headers. My apologies for any confusion my first comment may have caused. |

Column headers in a table functioning as input boxes for filtering Microsoft's answer to the question is 'Yes. This can be applied to web apps.' as shown by the identical behavior in their Excel web app.(blogs.office.com/b/officewebapps/archive/2012/10/22/… ). I agree with them. The issue is not web v OS behavior, it is Excel behavior. To frequent Excel users, every data table is an Excel table whether it is in a Windows app or in a browser. |

Column headers in a table functioning as input boxes for filtering This is one of Oracle's designs. Look at the image in section 10.4 Enabling Filtering in Tables. |

Column headers in a table functioning as input boxes for filtering I agree with the suggestion for looking at Excel - particularly if your users are also Excel users. Having worked on products with tables needing much sorting and filtering, a frequent comment we get during testing is "I expect it to work like Excel." Here is a picture. |
