Pictures/Icon's as selectors in Service Catalog

[adamrauh]

From the Service catalog, when building a catalog item (in this ex, for requesting a monitor cable or converter/extender), what is the best way to use pictures to select an item vs checkboxes, drop downs, etc.

Since I don't expect most users to know what mini-display to HDMI may mean, but recognize what it looks like, I'm thinking of ways to user selectable pictures as variables instead of drop-downs, etc. (unless upon being selected, the drop down shows the corresponding jpeg/icon).

Any ideas?

I don't think there's a really easy way to do this, but I can think of a couple of fairly complex strategies.

The first would be to use a client script to manipulate the DOM and add a picture to each of the choices in a multiple choice field.

The second would be to use an html field to create you radio buttons which each have a picture, and then use some javascript to update a corresponding multiple choice or select box field on the form to be used in a workflow.

There may be simpler way, but these are the best two approaches I could think of.

Definitely an interesting idea -- I'm going to add it to the backlog for us to look into.

Best,

Hi Nadeem,

Unfortunately no - it's not something we've baked into the product yet.
