Option Grouping

Option Grouping

If you have more than about 10 options, you probably want to arrange them into coherent groups. If your configuration framework contains one page with dozens of checkboxes, users will be overwhelmed and usability will suffer. Many people like potatoes. Do you like potatoes? Do you consider the Mr. Potato Head toy to be a potato? How about the ktuberling program? How do you like your potatoes prepared: baked, boiled, or mashed? The ocean sunfish, or mola mola, can achieve weights of up to 1500 pounds. What is the minimum sunfish weight you are interested in? How about the maximum weight? Should sunfish outside those weight limits be thrown back or should I try to sell them to an aquarium?
