CHAPTER 7

Routing and Communications

7-10 Routing Outgoing Items

In a view where an Action button can only affect one data item of several

that may be displayed (perhaps by scrolling the view), there should be an

Action button above each item, at the right side of the view. Generally, such a

view has a separator bar above each data item, and an Action button should

be at the right end of each separator bar. For example, each note in the

Notepad application has its own Action button, which applies just to that

note. Figure 7-6 shows an example of Action buttons above each data item

in a view.

Action Picker Contents 7

An Action picker lists the routing actions available for the particular class of

data that is currently selected. There are two types of routing actions that can

appear in an Action picker:

■ Routing actions corresponding to transports installed in the Newton

device, such as Print, Fax, Beam, and Mail

■ Application-deﬁned actions, such as Delete and Duplicate, that do not

involve the In/Out Box or a transport

Actions based on transports that work with the type of data being routed are

listed at the top of an Action picker. Application-deﬁned action commands

appear at the bottom of an Action picker, below a separator line. Figure 7-7

illustrates the two parts of an Action picker.
