Starting up

Simply go to the following link to access our home page: http://web.mit.edu/martelly/Public/dormmate/DanielFolder/mainPage.html

Available Features

Since this is still a work in progress, many features may be unavailable. Below is a list of available and unavailable features to expect from each of the three webpages in our website. All features that have to do with saving changes to data are unavailable. In other words, once you leave a page, your changes are not saved. In addition, account settings are not available even though there is an affordance for it at the top right.

Main Page

Available
  • Navigation and the start new task button should work.
  • Sortable, filterable task table.
  • Clickable notifications. Note: These are randomly generated each time you refresh the web page.
Unavailable
  • If you hide the details of a certain task, any changes to the checklist are forgotten.

Floor Plan

  • Zooming of floor view
  • Panning of floor view via pan icon
  • Access of floor statistics
  • Multiple floor viewing

    • Wiki presentation: Good explanation of prototype depth
    • Fidelity: 
      • Excellent computer prototype that seems high fidelity in look and covers all the tasks from your GR3 scenario.
      • Only thing low-fidelity in look is the activity feed, where the example updates seem incomplete (an update just has a resident's name), and the dates are not specific.
    • Usability: 
      • Great dynamically-filtered table of tasks. May want to add filtering buttons for move in/move out.
      • Show all button is a good idea, but users should be able to undo a filtering-button-click by unclicking it.
      • Search should maybe focus on just room numbers and resident names (which should be indicated in the "Search for XYZ" hint).
      • Instead of needing to open a task to check its subtask progress, can you show a bar that indicates how far along the move-in task is?
      • Is there a reason why the user needs to see complete tasks, and how long do they remain around for? Maybe tasks should only be visible for the last 30 days, unless the user asks for a deeper history.
      • Color coding in activity feed and in floor plan is unexplained and unlearnable. Needs a legend or some sort of explanation.
      • Future browsing of floor plan should support mouse movement to edges of the map, and keyboard arrows.
      • Task creation is fantastic, but
        • Give the user affordances that interacting with info on the right will auto-fill information on the left.
        • Subtasks should be auto-filled with defaults, instead of the user having to click 'Default'
      • No need to abbreviate ""Complete"" as ""Cmplt"" in activity feed, and timestamps everywhere should be more human-readable.
