COMMON PATTERNS FOR DATA INPUT

​

  • ❌ Wizard
      • Introducing a new pattern to dev team (no time for that!)
      • A hassle for each policy creation
      • Audience is too advanced (assumption)

​

  • âś… Forms
      • Group together related fields
      • Save and Come Back (current pattern in use)
      • Conditional Fields (show only relevant fields)
