V2 Screen Layouts

V2Master | V2HighLevelDesign

To Do

  1. Review button (new, edit and delete) placement on detail screens

  2. Review: How does button +File work?

  3. Define the contents of the Transmittals Block

  4. Review block headers and sub-headers (including font size)
  5. Review menu titles for configuration related menu items
  6. Review for correctness [ALL]
  7. Add buttons with button titles, tune button colors (should be less glaring)
  8. Check widths of selects, to be consistent across screens
  9. Check links for consistent actions
  10. We plan to go to a single edit screen, instead of separate edit screens for the object data and classification.
  11. Introduce different header background colors for each object (using subtle tones). One or a combination of the following:
    1. Apply color based on object type
    2. Apply color based on block type

Work Status

General Notes

Process

  1. If it's difficult to come to agreement then default to showing more data and then solicit customer feedback for additional guidance

Terminology

  1. 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)
  2. 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.

  1. {Object} {Type} {Code} - Default page title

  2. 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?

  3. Folder Block - for all objects except Team Members

  4. 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

  5. Responsibilities and Due Dates Block - Not implemented in the first release

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. Message Block - For Transmittals

  9. Revision Blocks - For Documents, includes Files and Note sub-blocks

  10. Note Blocks - For Tasks

  11. References - Sub-header

  12. Links Block - Not implemented in the first release

  13. Subscribers Block - Not implemented in the first release

  14. Transmittals Block

  15. 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?

  16. Subscribers Block - Not implemented in the first release.

  17. Transmittals Block - Only implemented for the Documents Detail screen

Buttons

  1. History buttons will not be available in the first release

Button Formatting

To review

  1. eEdit - Text: Edit icon followed by the text. Colored blue

  2. +New - Text: Plus icon followed by the text. Colored blue. The text may be something other than New

  3. xDetach - Text: X icon follow by the text. Colored yellow

  4. xDelete - Text: X icon followed by the text. Colored red
