user interface pattern for associating single or many objects to an entity
- by Samuel
Need suggestions on implementing associating single or many objects to an entity.
All soccer team players are registered individually (e.g. they are part of 'players' table)
A soccer team has many players. The click sequence is like this:-
a] Soccer team owner provides a name and brief description of the soccer team.
b] Now it wants to add players to this team.
c] You have the following button 'Add players to team' which lets you navigate to the 'View Players' page and lets you multi select users from there.
Assuming this is a paginated list of players, how do you handle the following:-
Do you provide a check box against each player and let the manager do a multi selection.
If you need to add more players, it doesn't make sense to show the players who have been already added to the team. Do you mark those entries as not selectable or you would adding showing these entries.
If you need to filter, do you provide search filters at the top of this page.
Am looking for ideas on how to implement this or sites which have already done something similar.
