Usability Questions and Feedback #164

Closed mongmedia closed 5 years ago

mongmedia commented 5 years ago

These are just some UX questions that came up during the Transcribe-a-thon.

[x] Differentiate the colors of the Title box and Actor box. Maybe a red #e60000 for Title?
[ ] Add help text for lists that remind users to mark each individual name of a list, i.e. chorus members.
[ ] Add help text for names that are split due to line breaks reminding them that they can simply mark just one part of the name.
[ ] This is a nice to have: Because programs aren't always scanned straight, it would be nice to nudge rotate the box (left and right) by 1 degree just to keep the regions from overlapping others.

I have added help text review to our to do list- @lindsaymking

Following up on the proposed red box for title. We recently had someone mark all actors with title boxes on accident due to current color similarity.

@alexokeefe Have you by chance had a moment to draft some help text for this one?

If so, I think the quickest change will be to add this help text to the tutorial text that appears when one first enters the Mark stage. What do you think about that solution?

I don't think we want to build a rotation widget as that would affect all of the rectangle drawing business too, but the color is easy enough to change...

Just to register this here, updating the color for the mark field on the production instance requires migrating to Mongo 3.6 and running the following gnarly query:

db.workflows.update({ '_id': ObjectId('5919df60adb8170833fb4fa9') }, { $set: {'tasks.$[doc1].tool_config.options.$[doc2].color': '#e60000'} }, { arrayFilters: [ {'doc1._id': ObjectId('5919df60adb8170833fb4faa') }, { 'doc2.color': '#FD953A'} ] })

closing this one as we're moving to Project Builder...
