Panel Layouts (Buttons vs. Dropdowns)
Understand how Busybee automatically adapts the user interface based on your category configuration.
Overview
Busybee is designed to be intuitive. It automatically switches between button-based and dropdown-based interfaces depending on how many ticket categories you have configured.
UI Behaviors
Single Category Layout
If you only have one category configured, clicking the Create Ticket button will:
- Directly open the Intake Form (Modal).
- Or, show the Agreement Embed first if enabled.
Multi-Category Layout
If you have two or more categories, clicking Create Ticket will:
- Trigger a Category Selection dropdown.
- Once a member selects a category, they will proceed to the Agreement or Intake Form.
Reference & Configuration Options
| Component | Behavior | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Button | Initiates the ticket opening process. | Default |
| Category Select | Allows users to choose a department (e.g., Billing). | 2+ Categories |
| Modal Form | Collects data from the user before creation. | Default |
NOTE
This dynamic switching is automatic. You do not need to manually toggle between "Button" or "Dropdown" modes.
