I’m not convinced that this is a good flow. Once you select Admin, there’s no easy cue to understand that you have to pick the tasks on the left and then edit them. And the
create new taskbutton sits awkwardly in the middle of a particular task’s details. But this is definitely an improvements from the existing flow. Specifically, notice what happens when you select thecreate a new taskbutton: The header for the existing task stays, but the details change to a form. You still have the edit option next to it. This makes it confusing to understand what the new task button will do: Will it add another task within a task? Or a different task?
Here’s what we discussed:
User profile menu will have:
- Settings
- Manage tasks
- Manage users
- Help
- Logout
On selecting Manage tasks:
Add a new taskbutton shows up on top of the task list (left panel)- Clicking on any task shows the details, and the
Edit current taskbutton at bottom of the description - While editing, the buttons on the bottom are for
Update taskandCancel - On clicking
Add a new task, we’ll show a modal with the form — this is to avoid having a state where a task is highlighted in the list and url, but a new task form is being shown.
On selecting Manage users:
- This link will only show up for Superusers
- On clicking this, we’ll show a modal with list of users and option to change permissions for each.
- This list of users should be grouped/sorted by User type, and then alphabetically.
On selecting Help
- Show list of keyboard shortcuts
- [Optional] Some intro about To Fix
