Challenge Overview

Welcome to NASA PAM - Responsive Web Application UI Prototype Challenge. In this challenge, we are looking for your help build the frontend for NASA PAM application that will help with the development, review, concurrence, and approval of NASA’s various agency agreements, including Space Act Agreements, Inter­Agency Agreements, and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements for NASA.

 

We recently completed the design challenge for this application and we now want to convert them into a UI prototype.

 

The Problem:

 

The NASA Partnership Office manages an enterprise agency run routing concurrence system that is in need of an updated user experience. The system is for the development, review, concurrence, and approval of NASA’s various agency agreements, including Space Act Agreements, Inter­Agency Agreements, and Cooperative Research and Development Agreements. The current interface is mainly text based and form driven, and is outdated and requires multiple steps for users to navigate. Since the interface is mainly form driven, there is a need to provide drag and drop capabilities and rich text box editing to allow for better navigation for the user.

 

Target Audience:

 

- Users at the NASA Partnership Office

 

Notes:

 

- The objective of this challenge is to produce front end that should be easily integrated within view component of Microsoft’s Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework. The presentation technologies that can/should be used are (Razor view engine, HTML 5, Bootstrap, CSS 3, JQuery UI)

- Desktop Size: 1366 x 768px

- Should be resizeable to function on a tablet (iPad, other), so please consider responsiveness while designing your solution.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

- The prototype must be responsive and built using technologies mentioned above

- Your pages must match the colors and structure of the provided storyboards.

- Ensure your pages display correctly in all browsers. It is your responsibility to make sure the pages display correctly.

- Validate your code - reviewers may accept minor validation errors, but please comment your reason for any validation errors. Use the validators listed in the scorecard.

- Your HTML code must be valid HTML5 and follow best practices

- Use CSS to space out objects, not clear/transparent images (GIFs or PNGs) and use proper structural CSS to lay out your page. Only use table tags for tables of data/information and not for page layout.

- No inline CSS styles - all styles must be placed in an external stylesheet.

- Use semantically correct tags - use H tags for headers, etc. Use strong and em tags instead of bold and italic tags.

- Element and Attribute names should be in lowercase and use a "-" or camel naming to separate multiple-word classes (i.e.. "main-content", or "mainContent).

- Label all CSS, JavaScript, or HTML hacks with explanations so others will understand.

 

JavaScript Libraries/Plugins

All JavaScript must not have a copyright by a third party. You are encouraged to use your own scripts, or scripts that are free, publicly available, and do not have copyright statements or author recognition requirements anywhere in the code.

- After a user submits review for screens 08_02.  

If an "ok to proceed" is selected the comment is recorded for the reviewer and the routing continues for reviews in the next routing sequence number.  If the reviewer is the last routing sequence number then the routing moved to completed and the sender is notified of the completion.

 

If "Do Not proceed" is selected, the comment is recorded for the reviewer and there is logic to either add the original person in routing sequence 1 or a add a routing template to the end of the list of the reviewers.  The logic is based on the NASA center.  


If "Final Do Not Proceed" is selected the behavior is the same as the "ok to proceed" option.   The reviewer is expected to input comments that support the selection of the "Final Do Not Proceed".
