Planned for the future

Summary

High-level summary to be added after testing has been completed.

Notes

The Pager will be used in various use-cases in various tools in various applications. Pagers are often used to display search results as well as large tabulated data, such as email Inbox, student roster, file system, etc. 

Goals

• The overlay tooltips are implemented, and it would be interesting to see whether this tool tip improved users' experience and reduced time/clicks it took to look for a particular item or a range of items.
• Whether the user prefers the page links or the next/previous buttons to navigate the pages (probably depends on the context)
• Whether the page size dropdown is used. If the user does use this feature, what items do they expect to see when the page size is changed? (same top item, selected item in view, etc.)
• When the user is not on the first or last pages and clicks on the column header to sort by that column, what page do they expect to land on?

Success Criteria

A successful design has been achieved when:

• 100% of users realize they can navigate to other pages.
• 90% of users realize what page they are on.
• 90% of users realize how long the entire list is.
• 90% of users can adjust the page size if there is a need.
