| Transforming
a Desktop application to Web application |
 |
OLD
Design:
The earlier pdm
system was a desktop based sytem. It
had hugh cascading
menu interactions.
User was not able to understand the
context of working. Every window was
a pop up window resulting of flooding
of windows. |
 |
New
Design:
After Task analysis
and user study, different layouts were
tried out in consultation with Development
group. Global links to create, search,
bookmark, etc are kept in left frame
and working are is in right frame. The
buttons bar in the right frame is kept
on the top and it changes depending
on items opened.
The new design is easy to use. Assists
learnability and memorability. |

| Creating
a Wizard |
 |
Inteactions
that can easily happen on a single VB
dialogue are difficult to design in
web interface. One such challange was
to achieve a Create action in this PDM
system. I designed a wizard to take
progressive information and lead user
to appropriate pages
View Sample task flow diagram.
(MS Word)
Here a user first selects what type
of document he wants to create, then
decides if he want a revision and change
notice. Then completes his tasks.
I had to design page flow considering
Server trips and behavior. With every
button a server trip was done and we
have to design to minimise server trips. |
