Explain the problem as you see it
With many buttons interface quickly becomes cluttered.
Why is this a problem for you?
I often use command buttons which could be condensed into one button, like:
- Change priority to 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Change due date to today, one day further, earlier etc.
Having them side by side can result in >10 buttons, which could be really condensed into 2 "show more" buttons.
Suggest a solution
Command to make a button show multiple buttons as a popup with options formated as:
- drop-down list;
- horizontal list (like below):
- grid with their specified location in space (like below):
