V2 Screen Layouts
To Do
Review button (new, edit and delete) placement on detail screens
Review: How does button +File work?
Define the contents of the Transmittals Block
- Review block headers and sub-headers (including font size)
- Review menu titles for configuration related menu items
- Review for correctness [ALL]
- Add buttons with button titles, tune button colors (should be less glaring)
- Check widths of selects, to be consistent across screens
- Check links for consistent actions
- We plan to go to a single edit screen, instead of separate edit screens for the object data and classification.
- Introduce different header background colors for each object (using subtle tones). One or a combination of the following:
- Apply color based on object type
- Apply color based on block type

General Notes
Process
- If it's difficult to come to agreement then default to showing more data and then solicit customer feedback for additional guidance
Terminology
Object - Refers to system objects such as documents, revisions, tasks, transmittals, users, etc. Block ordering is applicable to following Objects:
- Documents and Revisions
- Tasks
- Transmittals
- Users
- Files
- Dossiers
- Project Team
- (Folders - lower priority)
- (Classification Fields - lower priority)
Type - A field associated with the object that determines its classification class, and consequently:
- The allowed set of classification fields and their properties
- The screen display of the classification fields
Block Ordering
Not all block types are relevant to all Objects.
{Object} {Type} {Code} - Default page title
Identification Block
Type - e.g. Document type
Code - e.g. Document code
Title - Could be multiple lines, depending on the type
Author/Issuer - Depends on type
Date - Depends on type
Additional object specific fields
(Status, Private/Public, External/ProjectTeam flags) - Issue: to review
Identification block classification fields (for the given data type) - Only displayed of classification values for the identification block, for the given type, are defined or if one of the fields is defined as display on detail
Note that Description/Summary fields should be defining in the classification configuration TN: why?
Folder Block - for all objects except Team Members
Project Position Block - For Team Members only, can contain multiple entries if the team member is assigned more than one project position
TN: not a classification?
AH: in the initial release this block will not be implemented. The short-term workaround is to define project position as a classification field, which will be displayed in one of the other blocks
Responsibilities and Due Dates Block - Not implemented in the first release
Classification Block - Only displayed if classification values for the classification block, for the given type, are defined or if one of the fields is defined as display on detail
Properties Block - Only displayed if classification values for the data block, for the given type, are defined or if one of the fields is defined as display on detail
Message Block - For Transmittals
Revision Blocks - For Documents, includes Files and Note sub-blocks
Note Blocks - For Tasks
References - Sub-header
Links Block - Not implemented in the first release
Subscribers Block - Not implemented in the first release
Transmittals Block
Links Block - Not implemented in the first release (except for Dossier links).
To review: should this block include references to Dossiers? Or should that be in a separate block?
Subscribers Block - Not implemented in the first release.
Transmittals Block - Only implemented for the Documents Detail screen
Buttons
History buttons will not be available in the first release
Button Formatting
To review
eEdit - Text: Edit icon followed by the text. Colored blue
+New - Text: Plus icon followed by the text. Colored blue. The text may be something other than New
xDetach - Text: X icon follow by the text. Colored yellow
xDelete - Text: X icon followed by the text. Colored red
Button Enabling
ToDo
- Button enabling based on:
- User roles
- Object status

Document Detail Issues
Compare with transmittal detail screen layout and see how the files are displayed. Will it still be possible to easily transmit notes attachments files (instead of working files)?
- Editing of Revision blocks (see *** above): how to handle editing of individual notes? Probably best to have a separate Edit button on each Note.
- Clicking on Document Revision N in a List should open detail screen with Revision block and sub-block for Revision N open.
