Similar to #115, this issue details the layout for event browse.

---

Events: when a user selects this option it defaults to a list of links to event factoid pages.

• Remove Filters/Show All Events: Same use as described at Person Browse #115
• Sources: Filters the list of person aggregation links by persons appearing in the selected sources
  • Include All Sources: This radio button should be the default setting and when this box is selected it should automatically check all the other boxes.
  • Letters of Severus of Antioch: un-selecting this, or any of the following, should un-select "Include All Sources".
  • Lives of the Eastern Saints
  • Chronicle of Edessa
• Concepts: Filter list of event event factoids by keyword concept tag, allow multiple tags if possible.
• Associated Persons
  • Limit to Events that Refer to a Person
  • Limit by Names: Filter list of event factoids by those including the named person selected.
  • Limit by Gender: Filter list of event factoids by those including a person with the selected gender. Erin, this would be what we discussed Tuesday as a "second order" filter. The gender information is not in the event factoid but it is in the triple store.
  • Limit by Occupation: Filter list of event factoids by those including a person with the selected occupation. Also, "second order" as described above for gender.
• Associated Places
  • Show all Events that Refer to a Place
  • Limit by Names: Filter list of event factoids by those including the named place selected.
• Uncertainty: Filter list of event factoids by EXCLUDING the categories selected.

You mentioned a radio button-- those automatically unselect the other selections, is that the functionality that you want? Right now, the default is that all sources are displayed and one can chose to limit the sources to one, two or three of the listed sources.

@davidamichelson suggested this as a way for users to see more clearly that the default is that all are selected. As I think about it, I think it is important for users to be able to select/de-select all series as well as being able to select/de-select individual series. Right now, we have three options but as this grows I think it will be helpful to have this ability.

So, I just went looking for an example to point to what we have in mind. It looks like this is a "checkbox" and not a "radio button." By definition a radio button doesn't work the way we've suggested. Does calling it a checkbox help?

I think this is what we have in mind: https://codehim.com/text-input/toggle-select-all-checkbox-javascript/

Yes, it is currently a checkbox, which allows for multiple selections.
