I am designing a pop-up menu for a new application that allows operations in an automated packaging area to divert boxes on the line to one of several conveyors if there is a problem that would cause a backup. The system will provide recommendations for which conveyor to select, but the operator may choose any available conveyor. The menu and recommendation will be displayed when I click on the \"Menu\" button located at the bottom left corner of my display. Once the menu is displayed, the next action is to select a conveyor from the menu. Due to space constraints, I only have two options available to me. I can either have the menu centered 100 pixels away from the menu button with each menu item 25 pixels wide, or have the menu centered 240 pixels from the buttons, but then would have enough space to draw each menu item 30 pixels wide. Given that the operator must be able to respond as quickly as possible, which design option would you recommend and why (i.e., which will result in shorter move times?)
As you can draw by both the method but the user conveying and the user interface must provide easy usage to user.So taken into considerations go with second choice as you will have much space to draw each menu with 30 pixel wide or depending upon your requirement.It will generate simple and easy to handle user interface than the first choice.
