Title:
UI Useability Improvement propositions
Status in OpenObject Web Client:
Fix Released
Bug description:
We are working with useability experts to improve the user interface of the
v5.2 fo OpenERP. Our deadlines:
- January 2010 : finish all wireframes and start developments
- February 2010: finish all designs
We made some very early drafts wireframes to show you some ideas. The biggest
changes:
Search Views
-----------------
In trunk, we have new search views that can integrate buttons, business logic,
custom filters, ... You can design custom search views per object. The search
elements can change the domain (filter on records) or the context (change the
values displayed of computed fields: example: the stock real and virtual
depends on the selected warehouse in the search view of products.) Relational
fields are available as selection box, where you can select or write text.The
search view integrates custom filters, ability to create shortcuts, ...
See the attached screenshot for more info. It already works in trunk GTK and
web client.
Menus
---------
We'd like to change how OpenERP is perceived. Instead of being a "Global ERP
that does everything", we'd like to change our image into a "Suite of
Integrated Management Applications". The homepage, after the login, allows you
to choose in which 'application' you want to work: Project Management,
Accounting, ...
After entering in an application, you see the menu of this application that
always remains on the left side. All applications are visible on the above
tabs. Someone can set is default application in his preferences. (a developper
will remain in the Projact Management application and default to a context
which is his current project).
When you are in an 'application', you can set a default context. For example,
in project management, you can select a project. Then all menus (bugs, tasks,
features requests, wiki specifications, ...) automatically filters on this
project. You may not select any project and you will see all tasks (like
currently).
For example, in the sales management tab, the context will be the department
(case section) you are working in.
Note, that this is just for the useability of the user interface. It doesn't
change the way all objects are integrated together in OpenERP.
In attached files, you have a draft wireframe design of this new UI and a
sample .ODS file that describe the new menu structure.
Dashboards
---------------
We designed more collaborative dashboards (notes on projects, discussions, ...)
Lists
------
We will improve a lot the design of elements in a list. The attachment system
will be simplified a lot, see the bottom right corner (normally on forms, not
on lists). We don't open anymore the list/form of attachement.
NOTE:
* This is the first draft, I just received a completly different proposition
from an other useability expert. Everything is still under discussion, feel
free to contribute/propose others designs.
