Front End Design Update - Remove "Clear All" Button #232

Closed kristinknopf closed 9 years ago

kristinknopf commented 9 years ago

Based on round 2 usability testing on the desktop mockups, we found that users are very confused by the "clear all" button and don't know if this would clear the search bar or clear all the medicines in the cabinet.

@mandymullins , from an interaction standpoint, what is the intended purpose of this button? As I'm thinking through it, we may not need this functionality. If the users can delete each of their medications very easily, I'm not sure they need a way to wipe the whole cabinet at once, particularly if they are logged in users.

I suggest we try a round where we remove this button and see how users respond.

@kristinknopf -- The clear all button has been removed. Please verify and close.

@rppatel1007 So far I no one has mentioned that they would like to be able to clear all medicines from their cabinet at once, so I think totally removing this should work. Deleting the medicines one by one seems simple enough, and its also unlikely that a user would want to clear everything at the same time anyways. If I receive negative feedback on this I'll reopen this issue for some refinement.
