Remove duplicated elements across dashboard #1850

Closed janagombitova closed 7 years ago

janagombitova commented 7 years ago

Currently there are a few elements across the dashboard that do not have any purpose, provide no new information to the user or guidance, and are duplicated. With this issue, we will identify these elements and remove them all at once. Simplify. Declutter. Simplify.

List of duplicated page titles and submenus

For more information see image above.

Duplicated survey

When defining a survey we show the word "Survey" next to the inputted title of the survey. The title is then shown in the breadcrumb and in the title of the whole section.

Duplicated form title

After inputting the form title we show it twice in the UI. screen shot 2016-12-02 at 10 13 05

Secondly, I am not sure if the word "Forms" provides any value is the user sees "+ Add new form" that indicates the thing under the survey is a form, plus Form basics tell that this thing is a form as well

Manage Manage translation Manage notifications

In the form settings we extensively repeat the work manage. Can we find a different way to place these two extra settings in the layout? Or removing the word MANAGE on the left would already declutter the screen, as well.

Cascade resources

We repeat the word Cascade resources twice, once in the submenu and once on the page.

@janagombitova most of this is done except the duplication of form names.. However in this case I am not sure whether we should remove it, given that longer form names are cut off in the upper tab.

janagombitova commented 7 years ago

@muloem thanks for the heads up. Maybe lets deal with the form names in a separate issue, to see what the best approach would be regarding those tabs

@loicsans do you agree?

muloem commented 7 years ago

I took the four screen shots below. Just wondering whether we want to maintain some kind of consistency in the subtitles in the different tabs.

@muloem the dropdown headers are going to be handled in this issue: https://github.com/akvo/akvo-flow/issues/1851 as we tried to break down the tasks as much as possible > I will copy your notes into the issue so we have the latests info there

muloem commented 7 years ago

@loicsans @janagombitova not so much the dropdowns but the subtitles... e.g. Choose survey data to display Its different font and size on different tabs.

janagombitova commented 7 years ago

@muloem yes indeed, but @loicsans needs to see if the subtitles are even needed there as they are a duplicate of the message in the dropdown itself. Let's handle it in the issue mentioned above.

janagombitova commented 7 years ago

I find this a subtle and good improvement. We can consider the issue ready for release. 👍

@loicsans But it also reveals quite some issues on the general layout of the pages. This must be tackled for the release as well. I have added my comments to the issue here: https://github.com/akvo/akvo-flow/issues/1852#issuecomment-284018388
