-While at Beaver Mountain ski resort, I rode up the lift with a guy. He is the owner of a men’s clothing store here in Logan, UT. His business jingle is – “How you look is the first message you deliver.” As we talked on the way up the hill on the lift, it got me thinking… What message are we delivering with adilas? Sure it is a flexible work hours but it doesn’t look very exciting. I think it is about time to change that. -As a kind or/sort of blessing – okay – a real blessing. We’ve been able to fly low and under the radar and for quite a while. That has been a huge blessing for us. -A while back we were planning some interface changes. As part of that planning, we wanted to do a graphical homepage or sub homepage for each section inside the system. Basically, an organized list of graphics, icons, menus, buttons, and links. Make sure and do some research inside of adilas university on graphical menus, homepages, and icon menus. We may need to back to 12/23/10 interactive map stuff. (Graphical layout) -When showing page options and layouts, show feeder pages or sections, options, and just in time connections to the pages. (Flow charts) -One of the icons was going to be for training and education. It is okay to put the training and education graphics and links as under construction. Maybe that will help us to get some funding on training for adilas university per section or page section. -When showing pages, also include a generic action page, a generic database connections, and even a generic custom page option. Help tell the story through pictures. Just in time connections and flow. -Put a link to the community funded projects on the graphical start menu pages. This might be a great spot to collect data and sharing as well as let people request pieces and options. Basically, a link or page to go to our forums and/or sharing page. -On the quick search, we need to add options for media/content. That would be cool. -We also need to add new keyword options to get to the new and upcoming graphical start menu pages or graphical homepages. Maybe use “gg” for graphics graphic. Or maybe “start” or “ghome” (graphical homepage), or “menu” or something like that. These keywords would then be used to go the correct pages. For example: using the quick search, select invoices and then type “ghome” or select deposits and type in “ghome” to go to the graphical start menu or graphical homepage for the different sections. -I know all the training is not done yet… but it may really help to provide links, help files, short cuts, graphics, videos, etc. to help out our users. The more they learn on their own… the less we need to teach them and hold their hands. Empower the people! -When searching the developer’s notebook on adilas university… Allow for more than one search term or phase at a time. Maybe use a “t” (plus sign) or some other character to allow multi search phrases per URL link. Then on the page separate out the phrases and play accordingly. For example: some page name cfm, search = base camp and base camp and anchors or some page name cfm, search = base camp – base camp – anchors. Basically, “base camp”, “basecamp”, and “anchors” – some way to pass in multi’s. -On the graphical homepages or start menus… We need a section that could control settings both on an individual level as well as on a World or Corporation level. I’d like to show everything, even if the user doesn’t have the correct permissions. Maybe even use a green light, red light indicator to help show permissions. |
