Hourly folks! #3

Open akiraheid opened 9 years ago

What about hourly folk?!

Yearly is based off of a 40 hour work week 52 weeks a year, right?

What would be the best way to go about this? I think an hourly/salary combo box would make the participant row get too large. It's already pretty big as it is. Thoughts?

Maybe a "hourly to salary" converter link that opens up a popup where it will give you the conversion?

I think we would want to avoid opening windows and the like, if possible. I feel like that breaks the fluidity/simplicity of the UI.

A combo box would definitely take up space. What if we did something like below where we multipurpose the box you have next to the salary field? Clicking it would alternate between the two types (hourly/annual) hourly annual

Obviously, we'd have to change the symbology to make it obvious it's a button and what its function is.

What if instead of a window, we make it a modal? It would flow with the UI better then.

Windows and modals are equally annoying and experience-breaking for me. The way I see it, the technical "focus" is still in the tab for a modal, but, like a window, it forces the user to change their focus completely to the new modal/window and they're prevented from doing anything until they remove that modal (one extra step we don't want to make the user do).

Also, how would the user activate the modal? Would they have to click a button?

We have that space under the participant list, so maybe we can use that space for a small-medium button for displaying instructions on how to use WeSpent (or a converter, but ewe)? Maybe a list of FAQs (how do I put in hourly wages, what do the buttons do, etc.)?
