conditional highlighting of tabs in contact view
August 03, 2008, 11:59:30 pm
A contact's page can contain a lot of tabs - up to twelve - with all but one initially hidden. This makes a quick assessment of the contact difficult since each tab must be cycled through. The nature of many contact databases is that the information stored for each contact can vary widely from sparse (just email address and name) to broad and deep.

It would increase efficiency of contact browsing if tabs that had Null information (e.g. an individual's  membership tab with no memberships) were highlighted graphically to differentiate them and allow theem to be skipped. The tab label could be made light grey for instance.

Chris - this has come up a few times in the past, and seems to me to be a potentially significant usability improvement. I'm a bit concerned about the overhead needed to verify the NULL info state for each tab whenever the contact view(s) are loaded - but there may be some caching approaches that can help with this.

I've added it to the 2.2 roadmap candidates so it's on the 'radar screen'.
