My role: UI/UX designer

When? 2021

Library: mudblazor

ProdigiMange is a web application dedicated to ordering works. The client already owns an older version of this app. He gathers feedback from his team members who use this app every day.

Goal

Upgrade the app. The client already had the list of fixes. He told me about his expectations. One of his desires was to have a visually appealing application, as he frequently views it daily.

The project is designed according to his checklist, and I also include my suggestions - good practices.

Challenges

The previous designer did not meet the client's expectations and left the project of low quality. I didn't have a lot of time to suggest better options. Furthermore, I was unable to conduct research or conduct usability evaluations. Also, the project collects a lot of data and because of technology I had to design popup's.

What I did instead?

I do my best to build a solid connection with client. I worked well with PJM and developers. I had meetings with clients and asked detailed questions to make sure I did my best.

Let's start

login-panel

There is no registration button present here, as each employee will have created an account through the administrator and assigned a specific role.

Main page

Upon logging in, the user is presented with a list of enterprises. The person with the admin role is the subject of this case study.

all-Enterprises
ProdigiManage - create enterprice popup
ProdigiManage - create enterprice popup - filed

You are now able to watch the first part of the flow, from login to creating the last unit.

Each unit adds the next element the same way.

Plant-VIEW-–-Info-tab

This view is more complex. You will see how menu works. What's new? Extra buttons. What hide the 'Work order' tab?

Side menu

ProdigiManage - side menu

Side menu - simple example.

ProdigiManage - collapse menu button - default state
ProdigiManage - collapse menu button - hover state

The hover state of the 'Collapse sidebar' button changes color and after a while the tool tip shows up.

ProdigiManage - color status legend

The menu informs the user about the state of each element. Menu icons change colors. Here's the explanation of what those colors mean.

What's happen when menu is closed?

ProdigiManage - side menu - closed
ProdigiManage - side menu - closed

Work orders tab

ProdigiManage - Plant-VIEW-–-Work-order-tab
ProdigiManage - Create a new Work Request
 ProdigiManage - Work order – POPUP – new task

After the user adds a work request, the next step is awaiting approval.

After approval, the work order is scheduled and the user can edit and fill up with details.

ProdigiManage - Work order – POPUP

Edit mode

ProdigiManage - Work order – popup - EDIT MODE
Work order – popup - EDIT MODE – quit

Here is separated 'edit mode'. You saw before, the 'info tab' has an edit button. You may think that this is inconsistent, but the client asked for a separate area with a label. Another option is to have no label, use the same background, and dim the not editable part.

When the user wants to quit unexpected 'edit mode' system will show a popup with 'Do you want Save changes?'.

Here you can see an exaple of status history

ProdigiManage - Work order – POPUP – Status History tab

Now please take a look of full work order flow

Activities

Activities-for-Power-Generation-Palo-Seco

Activities are included in 'work orders.'
Pop-Ups are designed to look like work orders.'
Pleas see flow below.

 Reports tab

Plant-VIEW-–-Reports-tab
Plant-VIEW-–-Reports-tab-–-Asset-Health-Report-view

finally

As you can see, there are a few screens present. The pattern repeats, but the project is quite complex and has many features.
