Filter Button Edits
Introduction
In the pursuit of creating an intuitive and user-friendly interface, it is essential to continually assess and refine the existing design elements. The Filter button, a crucial component in navigating through the Property List page, has been identified as an area for improvement. This article outlines the proposed changes aimed at boosting the visibility of the Filter button and making its function more clear.
Current User Flow and Challenges
The current user flow involves clicking the Filter button to open the filter, followed by either clicking the 'X' icon in the top right or clicking the Filter button again to close the filter and return to the Property List. However, this interaction is not immediately clear without prior experience with filter navigation or additional visual elements communicating its function. The 'X' icon is ambiguous and may suggest that it will clear the filter if clicked, leading to potential confusion among users.
Proposed Changes
To address these challenges, the following changes are proposed:
Repositioning the Filter Button
The Filter button will be moved next to 'Total Properties', creating a more prominent and accessible location for users to interact with the filter.
Styling the Filter Button
The Filter button will be styled as a Secondary button in accordance with the Style Guide. This will provide a clear visual distinction between the Filter button and other interactive elements on the page.
Dynamic Button Text
When the filter is open, the button's text will change to "View Properties". When the filter is not open, the text will still read "Filter". This dynamic text will provide users with a clear indication of the button's current state and function.
Removing the 'X' Button
The 'X' button will be removed from the Filter page, eliminating any potential confusion and ensuring that users understand the button's function.
Prototype Pages and Visuals
The proposed changes have been implemented in the Figma prototype pages, which include the following visuals:
Benefits and Impact
The proposed changes will have a positive impact on the user experience, making it easier for users to navigate through the Property List page and apply filters. The enhanced visibility and clarity of the Filter button will reduce user confusion and improve overall usability.
Conclusion
The proposed changes to the Filter button are designed to enhance the user experience and provide a more intuitive interface. By repositioning the button, styling it as a Secondary button, and implementing dynamic button text, we can improve the clarity and visibility of the Filter button. The removal of the 'X' button will eliminate any potential confusion, ensuring that users understand the button's function. The proposed changes will have a positive impact on the user experience, making it easier for users to navigate through the Property List page and apply filters.
Future Development and Testing
The proposed changes will be implemented and tested in future development cycles. User testing and feedback will be essential in refining the design and ensuring that the changes meet the needs of users. By continually assessing and refining the design elements, we can create an intuitive and user-friendly interface that meets the needs of our users.
Recommendations
Based on the proposed changes, the following recommendations are made:
- Implement the proposed changes in the next development cycle.
- Conduct user testing and gather feedback to refine the design.
- Continually assess and refine the design elements to ensure that they meet the needs of users.
By following these recommendations, we can create an intuitive and user-friendly interface that enhances the user experience and meets the needs of our users.
Introduction
The proposed changes to the Filter button have been designed to enhance the user experience and provide a more intuitive interface. However, we understand that there may be questions and concerns regarding these changes. This Q&A article aims to address some of the frequently asked questions and provide further clarification on the proposed changes.
Q: Why was the Filter button moved next to 'Total Properties'?
A: The Filter button was moved next to 'Total Properties' to create a more prominent and accessible location for users to interact with the filter. This change aims to reduce the cognitive load on users and make it easier for them to find and use the filter.
