Round 2

Contest Summary
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 contest is focused on designing a internal application that will manage the "Loyalty Points" features of the recently built Loyalty Points Program.

Design Problem
Hestia needs a web interface where support staff can select products that will accrue extra loyalty points when Customers order product(s).
 Hestia Admins need to be able to create and manage Loyalty Point promotions.
Loyalty Points are an additional reward for Hestia Customers who purchase products using the Hestia FOL application.

This contest is to design UX concepts on how the Loyalty Points Admin screens might work and look graphically.

Design Ideas for the Admin Application
- Note: This will be an internal application so it does not need to follow the existing Hestia GUI Kit
- Research "Admin" features and user experience for applications. Are you familiar with WordPress, Django, Joomla "Admin" user experience design?
- We are looking for your thoughts on how the Admin should "work" and "look" graphically (keep it simple!)

Design References
- You can reference the attached FOLA-landing-page.jpg as a design base to get you started
- This is the existing Hestia Admin application (manages the Hestia FOL application)
- You can improve/change the FOLA page design!

USER STORY (read this!)
As a marketing associate (admin), I need a web interface where I can select products that will accrue extra loyalty points when the customer orders the product.
- I need to select the product to promote by Vendor (or multiple vendors), product line (ex.- faucets), product style name (ex. – Callista), and then select a start and end date for the promotion. I may choose specific customer types (ex.- plumbing, HVAC, Waterworks) or regions.
- There may be multiple promotions happening at the same time, so I’d like to be able to see what promotions are queued up.
- I would also like to be able to export a history of the promotions into an Excel file.

 Number your screens and think of the user "click-path" - tell us the Admin user experience story

1. Loyalty Points buton/launching from FOLA page
- Design a way to access the Loyalty Points Admin from FOLA landing page

2. Loyalty Points Admin Page
- What should be displayed here?
- The Admin needs to see any existing Loyalty Point promotion (there could be many happening at the same time)
- The Admin would need to see any "queued" promotions (promotions that might be starting)
- The Admin would need to see any alerts of promotions that will be expiring (and starting?)

3. Filter

- Vendor (or multiple vendors),
- Product line (ex: Faucets),
- Product style name (ex: Callista),
