Home Page UI/UX changes
The following changes to be implemented for the home page
- Consistency of wording? Eg PLANS vs DMPs
- Add “creating DMPs, Projects, Datasets” options -> crucial to have this at the home page - not everyone who enters wants to check status and workspace; It should be clear how to create content when I am in my homepage
- Consistency of wording? Eg PLANS vs DMPs
- Fix the size for different monitors
- It should be clear what the kind of workspaces that each button redirects are about: eg creating content should be also given the same attention as the general workspace (at the moment there is no clear “creating content” workspace)
- Rename from “My Statistics” to “(My) Workspace” or “(My) Dashboard” and make it the first part of a breadcrumb which is clickable and gives the opportunity to better navigate around
- Reorder to have “My DMPs” first
- Make icons and numbers clickable - consider making the icons larger and embedding the number in the right corner at the bottom of the icon
- Remove the “Open My Projects” feature ; perhaps have a “create” option here!
- “My Recent ___ activity” boxes to be connected with the above subject-icons that they are referring to; keep the space between them though as it helps the reader, but align so that they are even (eg here the one is disproportionate with the other * “My Recent Project Activity” is smaller than “My Projects” box); consider making them wider so that they take up a bit more space
- Keep the number of items to be displayed in the Recent Activity minimum so that too much of scrolling further down is avoided and have a neat homepage
- Embed a searching functionality somewhere at the top of the Home Page to search in all three catalogues (i.e. “My DMPs”, “My Projects”, “My Datasets”)
