[op5-users] GUI design issue, we want your opinion!

[Mikael.Schmidt at ixx.se]

I'd vote for number 1 since to me it makes more sense to group the columns you are working together as one for example if I click an available person and click the arrow to add, I wish to see it show up directly next to the arrow without moving my eyes. It also feels a bit messy to spread them out as version 2.

Version 3 shows the current/selected users before available, it should be the opposite since if you enter this configuration you wish to make changes to it and would make more sense to go from left to right, they same way we read :) This is also the common way of configuration windows to look.

Ämne: [op5-users] GUI design issue, we want your opinion!

Hi,

We would like your opinion on a specific GUI design issue.

In op5 LogServer 3.2, we have four different suggestions for layout when managing filters and access rights. We are a bit indecisive about what would be the best and most user-friendly layout.

Also, we would like to know if you prefer the term "Current" or "Selected" for users or groups that have been selected from the list of available users or groups.

Attached to this e-mail you will find our four different design suggestions.

Version 1:
    * "Available/Selected users" and "available/selected groups" grouped together.
    * "Available" placed to the left, "Selected" placed to the right.

Version 2:
    * "Available users" and "Available groups" as one group, "Current users" and "Current groups" as another.
    * "Available" placed to the left, "Current" to the right.

Version 3:
    * Based on version 2.
    * Changed placement of "Available" and "Current".

Version 4:
    * Based on version 2.
    * Renamed "Current" to "Selected".

Best Regards
Mattias Ryrlén
