DTLA Hack for LA is partnering with Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) to develop a Traffic Demand Management (TDM) calculator tool. This tool will help planners at LADOT and real estate developers to meet the Los Angeles’s Mobility Plan goals by 2035.
The TDM Calculator site currently does not have a formal process for administrators to approve of submitted snapshots. Design a workflow within the My Projects page that allows administrators to approve snapshots.
Details
The steps for a snapshot approval process are as follows:
A general user—usually a real estate developer or agent—submits their completed project in the form of a snapshot.
An operational administrator assigns the submitted snapshot to a Development Review Office, or DRO.
A DRO administrator reviews the snapshot, approves it, and assigns a date of approval.
In the current workflow on the Dev site, once a snapshot has been submitted, the only way that an administrator can mark it as having been approved is in the Admin Notes field. However, this workflow does not allow for approval to be filtered or searched for in the My Projects page. Instead, administrators are forced to open the notes of each snapshot individually to find whether or not it has been approved.
To address these issues, a new workflow on the My Projects page will require new functionality. That functionality might include "Approval Date" and "Approved By" columns and "Approve" and "Revoke Approval" buttons within the kebab menu, but these are only suggestions that can be worked through in the design process.
Action Items
[ ] Create a user flow for the snapshot approval process.
[ ] Design how each step of the user flow will be addressed through the My Projects user interface.
[ ] Present the designs to the Design team and iterate based on feedback if needed.
[ ] Review the designs with Product, Dev, and Research and iterate based on feedback if needed.
