Challenge Summary
Welcome to Next Level - Design Concepts Challenge!
The goal of this project is to design a cloud-based web application that end-users will access within a web browser. The application will allow users to routinely log time based on predetermined categories, as well as the creation of ad-hoc categories.
These categories can include tasks such as: breaks, lunch, training, problem resolution, documentation management, company & client meetings.
In this challenge we are looking for DESIGN CONCEPTS on how this web application could work. What should the user see and experience when using the application?
Good luck and we look forward to your design!

Challenge Description:
The goal of this challenge is to design an intuitive user interface which will allow users to easily and rapidly log activities and the associated amount of time for those activities.
We are looking for the [topcoder] design Community to help us with planning our new "user experience" (UX).
Notes:
- This is going to be a Web App.
- Desktop view: 1280px width and height as required.
- Make sure you create graphic in 'shape' format, so when we resize graphics will still look sharp!
- Feel free to suggest any tools/functions that can bring good User Experience for this tool.
User Workflow:
1- John works in back-office support in the healthcare division.
2- When John starts his day, he will hit “Production Time” and the web app will start accruing time based on hitting the “Production Time” button / drop down / list entry.
3- If John selects the “Break” button, then “Production Time” will stop, and time will start accruing against “Break”.
4- If John is idle, the web application will alert John that it has been 15 minutes since any activity has taken place and direct him to log his activity / time.
5- When John returns to his desk, the application will recognize that the computer is no longer idle (through either keystrokes or movement of the mouse) and create a time entry for the idle time, and then start tracking time under “Production Time” because they are no longer idle.
6- The data that John saves is then collected and stored in a database.
7- Reports can then be generated which will provide a breakdown of the categorized time log, and what non-core tasks are being performed.
Required Screens:
- The following screens/functions are suggested screens from us, please feel free to add other screens/functions and features that work fine with what we are trying to accomplish here.
01 Login Page:
- We need the user to enter his:
-- Email Address.
-- Password.
- This is going to be single sign on.
- We need a register button.
02 Registration Page:
- We must capture the following information:
-- First Name.
-- Last Name.
-- Employee ID Number.
-- Region (APJ, e.g.).
-- Industrialized Center (GDC - Bangalore, Chennai).
-- Specific Account (P&G).
-- Specific Function e.g. F&A Indexing.
03 Dashboard:
- Here user can track what he is doing in his day.
- When user starts his day, he will hit “Production Time” and the web app will start accruing time based on hitting the “Production Time” button.
- User can then select what he is doing in his production time from a list:
-- Break.
-- Lunch.
-- Training.
-- Problem resolution.
-- Documentation management.
-- Company & client meetings.
- If userselects the “Break” button, then “Production Time” will stop, and time will start accruing against “Break”.
- If useris idle, the web application will alert user that it has been 15 minutes since any activity has taken place and direct him to log his activity / time.
- When user returns to his desk, the application will recognize that the computer is no longer idle (through either keystrokes or movement of the mouse) and create a time entry for the idle time, and then start tracking time under “Production Time” because they are no longer idle.
- Reports can than be generated which will provide a breakdown of the categorized time log, and what non-core tasks are being performed.
04 Reports:
- Please show reports data as graphs.
- We need to have reporting based on a hierarchy - admins must be able to export this information as a CSV:
-- Region (APJ, e.g.).
-- Industrialized Center (GDC - Bangalore, Chennai).
-- Specific Account (P&G).
-- Specific Function e.g. F&A Indexing.
-- Specific Person e.g. Branko Tofilovski.
-- By day, week and month - self explanatory.
-- Amount of hours / minutes the desktop is idle and the number of hours.
05 Style Tile:
- We would like you to create a style tile that will help developers.
- This Style Tile need to have the below at a minimum but feel free to add anything that would help developers
- Explore these references to learn more about style tiles: Reference 1, Reference 2
Links / Buttons Colors:
- Button colors (normal / hover states)
- Link colors (normal / hover states)
Typography:
We would like you to identify and define the list of fonts and the specific color, font size used:
- Headers
- Sub-headers.
- Paragraphs.
- etc.
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
Branding Guidelines:
