search-suggestion / Best way to show up the look-up option
I am designing a truck details edit form screen. Which consist of truck’s general information tab and a document tab to upload the document related to that truck.
In the truck’s general information tab there is field called as driver name, the user have the option to search for the specific driver base on the some parameters and assign a driver to that truck.
Now the question is, which will be a best approach to give a search option for specific field,
-
Option 1: Show the search & result in popup but it is a responsive design popup is not recommended due to view port constrains.
-
Option 2: Navigate the user to a new screen with search and result. But here problem is we have carry the forward the truck info to that new screen to maintain the context from where the user is navigated from and it should be inside the tab (general information tab)? also if the user have enter any data before reaching this particular fields in the parent screen, all the data has to be retained once user back to parent screen.
Refer the screen shown below.

Improving Reviews And Testimonials Using Science-Based Design
 |
Reviews, testimonials and word of mouth are winning the war in branding. A sea of research is out there about social proof and what to do and what not to do about soliciting customer reviews. It’s overwhelming to read and digest it all, let alone to know which nuggets are gold and which are fool’s gold. For a designer or business owner or marketer, knowing who or what to listen to can be difficult.
Here’s what I like to do: Find data! I like to find really smart researchers who are in the lab studying the topic du jour, interview them about their work, and then tell you all about it. Using the magic of science to improve how we solicit customers for feedback, testimonials or reviews can be a saving grace to those who would like to share happy customer reviews and remedy any lackluster experiences — in the best way possible, in fact: without sacrificing good UX or losing valuable customers.
