Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use a gallery to list orders and navigate to a detail screen on selection
Using a gallery to list orders and navigating to a detail screen on selection is the most efficient pattern for browsing and drilling into details. Option A is incorrect because a data table directly connected to the data source does not provide an easy way to drill into each order's details without additional configuration. Option C is incorrect because a single form with navigation buttons is less efficient for browsing a list and requires manual navigation. Option D is incorrect because exporting to Excel defeats the purpose of a real-time app and is not efficient.
