Projects

Using personas to improve our user experience

This project was created to create a more standardised product as well as a collection of improvements which affect the end-user.

Summary of improvements include:

• Removing the ‘Find content’ link from the toolbar.

• Standardising terminology used.

• Standardising labels and capitals.

• My Workspace is now sorted by newest updated by default, instead of relevance on a blank term.

• Removed ‘Add location’ link from the toolbar.

• Displaying the group category when on a group.

• Including tag block to show the filters selected on content search.

• Reducing the padding and grey space on search fields.

Workflow

We removed workflow from selected content types which did not require it, resolving any side-effects and old references. The selected content types are:

• Groups

• Group posts

• Group polls

• Group docs

• Messages created on the Message Wall

There is now slight amendments to the user interface for docs as part of this: there is now a ‘published’ checkbox, replacing the old radio buttons.

UX / UI

Rename Distributed Publishing roles 

• We renamed the Author, Editor and Publisher roles in distributed publishing to Section author, Section editor, Section publisher to mitigate any confusion between global roles.

Accessible Experience

Rate text colour is too faint

Help / Documentation

There are no Help / Documentation tasks in this release.
