I would add that allowing the user to type the first few letters to filter the options in each dropdown would help power users significantly. Also, if @Devin's suggestion is no improvement because users overwhelmingly chose different lists for each location, it may help to allow the user to choose lists immediately after they add a location, instead of adding all locations first and then choosing the lists for each. This way, the context for each location is fresh in their minds when they choose a list. | |
| Nov 4, 2016 at 20:02 | comment | added | Devin | It's still the same. Besides, you have 2 possible main lists (Everyone and Specific) and then some sub-lists if specific which act as filters. If Everyone is selected, you just saved 50% of the work to the user, no matter how many lists. Furthermore: the more lists, the biggest the difference in time / effort saved. Just as an exercise, try drawing on paper a few prototypes with your approach, my approach and different cases recombining an N number of lists and locations and you'll see what I mean. Is pure maths | |
| Nov 4, 2016 at 19:21 | comment | added | Sara | Thanks for the response! I should've made it clearer in my explanation but the number of lists per location will vary as well. Business owners can create any number of lists and give the lists an arbitrary name. | |
