- Type of Feedback: Something I want
Has anyone attempted to augment the Summary View to be more of a dashboard? There is valuable screen real estate being wasted and could so easily render what the typical user wants: one place to be a focus. Currently we must create dnn menu items to encapsulate reach the other AS function points (inbox, member lists, groups etc). Once again, fb rears its' dominant head here. Users do not want to use menus. So, consider this following image:
You have a long list of filtering options which (at least in my opinion) should be found in a dropdown. Then you have links and text taking up a whole row when i bet 98% of all buttons clicked are Status or Share Link (the others could be a dropdown.. think Mac usability here). The text box is set to a crazy indent and should be wider. But the crux of my wish here is simple: give us a admin toggle that will allow us to include AS-oriented buttons that will take the user directly to all the various areas of AS purview. There is so much empty white space below the Post button level that it could easily fit there.
These buttons would be a snap to add for the AS gurus, and would save us much dnn-related tasking to get folks around.
And finally, while i am at it, once a user makes a selection of the scope of visibility for a post, auto-close the dropdown..
thanks for listening, drew..
