Limit/Expand Search Results – Form Specification

1.Overview

The Limit/Expand Search Results feature allows the user to limit his/her current results. It appears in the left-hand sidebar and across the tab bar following a successful search in products and Display Groups (AKA tabs) for which the feature has been configured.

See the Limit/Expand Search Results use case for more details.

1.1Scope

The bulk of this form specification will explain in detail field by field what to enter and how to navigate. This document might also elaborate on validation rules needed for some of the fields.

2.Standard Navigation

The elements of standard navigation available for Limit/Expand functionality will be identical to those of the results list. See the Results List form specification for more details.

3.Navigation to Limit/Expand Search Results

The Limit/Expand sidebar will display following the execution of a successful search for a product and Display Group for which Limit/Expand options have been configured.

4.Visual Presentation

Form specifications must be used as authority for the objects, general placement of those objects, and user interface text. Text fonts and styles, background colors, and precise placement of objects [including line spacing/breaks] should originate from the code in the prototype.
