Application Description:
The Inventory Management Database keeps all the information about each application, and who to contact if something goes wrong. This database helps the support team quickly find the right contact when a problem occurs. We are looking to create a mobile version of this application, so that people can find this information even when they are on-the-go.
Required Screen Sizes:
- Mobile Standard Size: 320px x 480px OR iPhone 6 Size: 750px x 1334px
Supporting Documents:
- Current Application (about-the-app.pdf)
- Design Guideline: http://www.ibm.com/design/language/
- IBM Logo (IBM_logo.ai)
Design Goals:
- Think how quickly the user can find what he is looking for?
- The application should be easy to use.
- Think simple but effective solutions!
- We are looking for Modern mobile designs including best UI practices, make sure the application is visually appealing.
- We are looking for a responsive design to adapt to different smartphones screen sizes and resolutions.
User Flow:
- Dan opens the application and view the list of apps available.
- Dan should have the ability to export view to Excel for manipulation/reporting.
- Dan clicks on an App in the list and redirected to Application Document View.
- From Application Document View Dan can view:
-- General Information Section, here Dan can view general information about the App.
-- Online and Support Section, here Dan can view start and end times of support.
-- Contact Information Section, here Dan can view contact information and send an email or call the contact.
