user interface - how to design multiple lookups -


  • the user of application wants assign task programmer.
  • the "edit task" form presented user.
  • a popup (actually absolutely positioned div) window comes programmers choose from.
  • the programmer not there user asks "new programmer" screen. popup replaced "new programmer" form.
  • the user fill data, , comes "works at" field.
  • a (2nd or 3d) popup comes stack "places" choose from.

this can go ad infinitum.

how design applications, avoid infinite stack of lookup/entry forms?

alternatively creating (recursive) stack, make sequential queue of information still needs entered (similar wizard). i.e. select programmer, item "(new - ask details later)". if it's going wizard, should have forth-and-back buttons everywhere.
