General idea...
* User friendly - affordances!
* Clean, Not cluttered - white space is important!
* Efficient - get the info I need, and do what I do need to do!
* Easy Navigation - no unnecessary clicking and reloading
* Pretty - readable fonts, nice color scheme, etc
Eliminate Websims
- all the features that Websims currently has would be directly integrated into the Webportal
Easy Navigation:
• Better default tab names! • More user tab customization! • Instant information on each tab and
each option! • Real time page display customization!
• Alert user before he/she is logged out!
Better tab names!
• Tab names should be intuitive• User should not have to ask what options
are available under each tab.
more intuitive tab names : My Info | Student Transactions | Academic Tools |
Financial Tools | Campus Services | Events & Orgs.
User tab customization!
• Current portal allows user to add and remove tabs
• Should give the user the ability create fully customized tabs that are used most frequently
• Users will also be able to make one tab with all the options he/she needs.
Instant information on each tab and option!• If a user idles his mouse over a tab or
option small yellow box will pop with text that tells the user what it is for.
• Even with better default tab names it is useful to be able to have more information on a tab or option instantly and hassle free.
Real time page display customization!• User channels have been set up so that they can be
removed, hidden, or enlarged. Currently these display options require the page to be refreshed.
• All display customizations should be real time and should not feel like a new page has been loaded and enlarging a channel should only be as if you are magnifying it's display, it should not remove all other channels from the screen.
Alert user before being logged out!• if users remain idle on the portal for too long they
are automatically logged out.
• A message should pop alerting the user if he/she wishes to stay logged on. The message should have a counter before the user is automatically logged out.
