Lingxi Featured Function-Form Bookmark

In the process of requirement iteration, Lingxi documents track the status of requirements, including testing status, current problems, and whether they are online or not, by maintaining the "task online tracking table".
However, when there are too many accumulated records, the following two problems will greatly affect the user experience:

1. Each time you enter the table to locate the latest record, you need to manually scroll the table to the bottom, which is very troublesome.

2. The Lingxi Division manages the scheduling of weekly design resources uniformly, and design students to schedule the schedule after filling in the design requirements for each product every week. The demand scheduling table is divided into four small tables from top to bottom: interaction requirements, UI requirements, walkthrough requirements, and visual publicity requirements. When the weekly demand is high, it will be difficult to locate the small tables of each group when entering the scheduling table:

Based on the above scenarios and problems, Lingxi provides a very elegant solution-form bookmarks.

Inspiration for table bookmarks

The inspiration for the table bookmark comes from the colorful labels seen in the stationery cabinet. Conventional bookmarks are a quick jump to the recently viewed content, while color bookmarks can be used to group and locate different types of content. The use of color bookmarks can solve the above two problems, and the user’s high priority for summary data Level communication, you can also display the cell content in front of the label.

The realization idea of table bookmark:

• Select the area that needs to be located-click on the bookmark, and read the current active cell* by default (type the default input cell after selection) as the book signature, and support to modify the book signature.
• After the label is generated, it will be displayed in the right list. When collaborators enter the table, they can quickly preview the important cell information in the table and quickly locate and jump.
• When you return to the main text of the table, the bookmark bar will automatically collapse without interfering with editing. Click the floating "bookmark" entry to open the bookmark list again. At the same time, bookmarks are applied to all workbooks in the table, and important information in the post-workbooks can also be quickly communicated.
