Experience Recommendations - Enablement:Geo FY21-Q1 - Monitoring of replication
- UX Scorecard issue: #772 (closed)
1. Improve the first page for Admins
- Maturity: Viable
I believe that it is still hard for the first-time user to explore our UI and understand the details. In the long-term, I would like to push forward the new look and feel on the first page. Since it might be a radical change, I would like to spend more time brainstorming. As a starting point, we've done the Sketching session. (thank you all!) And hopefully, upcoming user interviews will cover some of our assumptions and questions. And please stay tuned for our next design workshop!

2. Improve the user flow of identifying unreplicated data
- Maturity: Viable
This is already a known issue, thankfully. Also, I figured out it's not easy to navigate through the unreplicated data. The potential solution for reducing the number of clicks is to show more information on hover the graph.

3. Find a better way to represent - Maturity: Viable
The three pages look very similar and had a similar structure. The radical changes might be merging the view and display everything on one page. We can start kicking off this change by having a title under the breadcrumb section.

4. Improve and clean up the current Currently, we have healthy
and unhealthy
status for the main nodes page. For the case of the nodes' status, if we need to, it's better to add one or more status if that helps users. And the other status is under the project/uploads/design level. There were some inconsistencies in naming the status and its icon.

Experience Recommendations Checklist
Learn more about UX Scorecards
-
Add this issue to the stage group epic for the corresponding quarter's UX scorecards. -
Brainstorm opportunities to fix or improve areas of the experience. - Use the findings from the Emotional Grading scale to determine areas of immediate focus. For example, if parts of the experience received a “Negative” Emotional Grade, consider addressing those first.
-
Create an issue for each recommendation and add them as related to this issue. -
Think iteratively, and create dependencies where appropriate, remembering that sometimes the order of what we release is just as important as what we release. - If you need to break recommendations into phases or over multiple milestones, create multiple epics and use the Category Maturity Definitions in the title of each epic: Minimal, Viable, Complete, or Lovable.
