I am working on an application where a set of data is displayed, based on a specific week. The user selects this week from a drop down box, and one of my objectives is to format the way these week options display in this drop down box. The dropdown is a set requirement; I am only formatting the way the weeks display in that list.
I have done some HCI research, in the past; and I feel confident that the weeks should be displayed in the form of "
I am designing for a users purely in Australia, but I am certain that this should only have an impact on the format of day month, instead of month day. There is no requirement to meet ISO standards; so we do not necessarily have to use a strict number format.
Is there a particularly intuitive way to display weeks as text, or is the matter to subjective?
Answer
Ah Socrates answered whilst I was drawing, so ignore the text ones as I'm suggesting the same thing, the other type is a calendar control programmed to select a week, for the line on which you place the cursor.
Socrates is right, you need to test your users with different types to find out what works for them.
