Contest Details
Hestia always looking to give their customers a better user experience by updating and enhancing the User Experience (UX) of their existing websites and web applications. This project is now focusing on an internal application for Hestia support staff.
Design Problem
When Hestia support staff needs to find information about products, customer orders or customer information they need to search within many different internal intranet based applications. This dcontest is the beginning design of a central "Dashboard" that will allow Hestia staff to quickly find this information within a single application screen.
Dashboard Design Tasks
We attached "Reference.jpg" of our sketch idea what modules need displayed on page.
Reference.jpg contains the modules that we need placed on the page:
Note: Each of these "modules" would be a feed of information from other systems etc.
- Search Bar
- Customer Notes & Attachments
- Customer Contacts
- Customer Frequently Buys
- Product Sourcing Information
- Product Detail Information
- Preview "Order Product Entry"
- Note: The center "Trilogie" screen will still be used - please capture this type of screen/module that can be referenced.
Design Idea: We are thinking each module on the page could be moved around (drag & drop) If you have another idea we are open to any new concepts for this.
Check reference how that function sample looks on this site.
- Each module would have the ability to hide/show its own column.
- Each module would have the ability to expand/collapse.
- Any additional functionality?
- Make sure the table content is designed nicely.
- Make sure to think about the layout of the different modules - should they have fixed height, scrollbars?
IMPORTANT
- Keep things consistent. This means all graphic styles should work together.
- All of the graphics should have a similar feel and general aesthetic appearance
