Multi-Panel (Accordion)

The amount of information on our system can take a lot of space to display.  So we have screens that work like an accordion,  with multiple panels of data.   You work on one panel at a time.  You may have seen these when you pay your bills on line.

Accordion screens are used when:

  • The screen size is too small to show everything at once,  like on a modal screen.
  • The data can be separated into panels,  like one for dates,   one for Yes/No questions  etc.
