UI DESIGN DOC
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
- Responsive but favoring larger screens primarily
|
|
- Smaller screens will be able to do everything but the layout is not the primary one
|
|
- Service techs have an ipad or notebook
|
|
- Anticipate a list of things each role needs immediately in front of them and try for that
|
|
- componentized UI elements so can re-use and mix and even support customizing with user defined layout
|
|
- So for example a customer list is a self contained subset of a list widget and can be plunked down anywhere required
|
|
- This will save me time so identify the "types" of ui elements (picklist, filterable data list, entry form etc)
|
|
- Then can build specific versions of the types identified like a client list is a specialized filterable data list etc.
|
|
- If a list then it also knows which element is selected or a list of selected elements so other widgets can operate on it
|
|
- A menu or command widget that can be inserted into another widget, i.e. a part picker for a workorder part list widget or elsewhere a part is required
|
|
- This way I'm only making a few UI objects, not a new one for every single element.
|
|
- Kind of making the pallet first of all required objects then I can "paint" with them on to the UI without getting bogged down in minute details every time I make a form
|
|
- UI elements should be responsive and generic enough to work for many different use cases
|
|
- they should be rights aware and mode aware (editable, read only) enough to handle all that without recoding again and again
|
|
- the page or shell or whatever that holds the widgets should be end user customizable from a widget pallet.
|
|
- The more self contained the widget the more useful
|
|
|
|
- Most people seem to prefer WBI over RI and the reason always seems to be RI is too simple or requires too many clicks
|
|
- So plan on the bigger screen layout being the main UI and smaller screen secondary
|
|
- I want things to be simpler and cleaner than it seems many people do so beware of that tendency
|
|
- People don't want to have to open sub screens any more than absolutely necessary
|
|
- Make sure a screen contains as much as possible to complete it on one screen
|
|
- Clean interface with good negative space but not dumbed down too much
|
|
- Pro-marketing style, stuff that makes it easier to sell
|
|
- emphasize simple fonts with good contrast
|
|
- Blue is a good colour, no purple or pastels
|
|
- DAshboard / customizable UI
|
|
- Ideally people can see as much detail as they want or remove unused ui widget elements
|
|
- So, for example on the dashboard they can customize by plunking down a client list widget, adding a "My workorders" widget for a tech
|
|
- or for a Ops person they can plunk down on their dashboard a current server status widget or active jobs widget etc

|
|
|
- What I want is clearer icons without tiny sub images melded onto them which looks muddy, consistent flat look, single color perhaps
|
|
- Try to stick to similar ones but some of the v7 just don't make sense so where necessary toss them; I'm coding for new customers, not the existing ones
