Guys, I've attached one of the new GUIs I designed for phpESP. Your thoughts, ideas please ...... Over the next couple of days I'll also post the other 2 designs I've created for your comments. Kon |

Thanks for the suggestions Lou, I'll keep them in mind for the final design. In the mean time I've implemented some of your suggestions to the GUI I posted yesterday and have attached a revised version. Do they suite ? Kon On Sun, 31 Mar 2002 02:45, James E.

Cool. Love those colours (Candian spelling!).
I wondering if the menu items under the main headings
will have the same colour pallete as the main heading?
:-)
I wish I had that sense of colour maching and design. :-((
I guess I'm in the same boat as James on this one.
I don't know if your next mock-up will contain this,
but I still think there should be a Survey Deployement
section (i.e. which contains the Changing of status (or publishing the
survey) and the Change of Access).
I was also thinking that Survey Administration might
be changed to Survey Creation so then we have
Survey Creation
Survey Deployment
Survey Results
and then the
Admin
Utilites
Help
That would balance the display with 3 x 3 with one at the bottom(i.e
the contact stuff).
I was just wondering about the order of the menu items in the Account
Admin
section. That is, I was thinking that they should be in order of usage
and I
don't know what the order should be. Any ideas?
I noticed the version number! :-))
(I guess the reason I'm kinda sensitve about that one is that if users
are having difficulty
they can quickly find the version number of the package. Moreover, it
also saves
time for developers when trying to track down bugs).
Regarding the version number, I also think that the version should be
placed somewhere at the bottom
of each survey generated (in small font of course)
Thank you.
Lou.

Or at the least have it be "opt-in" (ie. default to no advertisement). -James |

The feedback is much appreciated. Keep it comming. whenever I design a GUI it must meet the following criteria: 1/ when viewed on an 800 x 600 screen resolution there should be no horizontal scrolling (of course there are times when this can't be helped...). When using a scroll, the idea is to place the least important info in the scroll area. Keeping this in mind which of the headings/links would you consider least important and therefore place in the scroll area? Creating Section headings is always a difficult task. You try to avoid 3 things: 1/ clutter 2/ headings that only contain 1 or two links because this tends to give the impression that this section is "underdeveloped". 3/ headings that do not give a true reflection of its content. (assume that we implemented a Survey Deployment section header and placed "changing of status" and "change access to survey" links within this heading. we then proceed to analyse the functionality of the links. are archiving, ending, editing considered survey deployments processes? even testing cannot be truly considered a survey deployment process. I hope this gives you an idea as to where I'm comming from and the complexity of GUI design. Kon On Sun, 31 Mar 2002 10:19, Lou Spironello wrote: > Cool.

Cool!
Just a few ideas(as always. :-) ):
Change the order of the display of main headings so that they follow
the logical
path of a survey construction/adminitration(i.e.
Creation/Build
Add
Edit
Copy
Delete
Test
Send/Distribute
Set survey access privliges
Set survey status
Results/Reports
view results from survey
view survey report
Administration
User
Add/Edit/Delete/Copy
Group
Add/Edit/Delete/Copy
Admin
Add/Edit/Delete/Copy
Password
Utilities
Import
Export
Purge
Merge
Help
User Guide

I have a concern for the wording of the two phrases "View Results
from a Survey" and
"View a Survey Report". I find that those phrases don't
immediately convey
the meaning of the menu item. I haven't thought of an
alternative yet. :-(
Version number of phpESP should be displayed at top of page.
phpESP website URL might be included at the bottom of the page
or through clicking from the phpESP image at the top of the
page.
Thank you
Lou.

No complaints about the GUI just another suggestion regarding old interface and the combo boxes for the yes/no options in the Designer Account page. I think they should be changed to checkboxes. I was also thinking it would be good to have combo boxes for the Day, Month, and Years. Lou P.S. I like the colours and the graphics of the new interface. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kon Angelopoulos" <ang...@ip...> To: <php...@li...> Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2002 2:17 AM Subject: [phpesp-dev] new phpESP GUI > Guys, > > I've attached one of the new GUIs I designed for phpESP. > Your thoughts, ideas please ...... > > Over the next couple of days I'll also post the other 2 designs I've > created for your comments. > > Kon |

I was told once that combo boxes are much easier for disabled people, see my recent post titled "GUI design considerations". Perhaps this should be a configurable preference. -James |

I think w3.org has an accessiblity doc we might look at. I also think there is an accessability site called bobby???? which may validate pages regarding disability issues, etc. I can check into this one. > Perhaps this should be a configurable preference.
