Panel Buddy makes big data easier to display and easier to query. Instead of checkboxes, or long lists of values for selection, Panel Buddy presents the data in a clear and user-friendly way, and saves the data into two, single instance, multi-select fields.

Panel Buddy allows your data to be defined as categories with subcategories. If a user selects a subcategory, for example, poodle, they will automatically be assigned the category as well.
The data is saved as comma delimited strings.
So the user could be included in the query – records with a category contains ‘Dogs’ OR subcategory contains ‘Poodle’.
By using a standard alone panel to manage the categories and subcategories, other fields can be added as well i.e. Sort Order, Deadly Animal, Domestic Pet and used in different ways across your website and audiences.
NB: Only authenticated users can access and use Panel Buddy (as with all iMIS Panels).
