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:

  1. Trigger a Category Selection dropdown.
  2. 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.
