Enter a new thing wizards

Status of the project

• Bas is building the interfaces. They are on his dev site
• Andreas designed a new way to pick keywords. The final designs are posted. I do not think Bas' time has been planned to build this new page.

To style the wizards, the guidelines are here:
Guidelines: http://clients.mediamatic.nl/common/formguideline/4/screens/1.html
Design files are here: Volumes/Kantoor/3-anymeta/Interaction Design/common aanpassingen 2010/style_guide_forms/Style_guide

Sub projects

New thing picker

• Designs sketches are here under item picker

Image picker

• Final designs are also on the client server here.

Clean up of the mouseover

• In the image picker and on the Google maps on mouseover a little list item appears. The code for this needed a clean up. Blaise will do this as a separate project but within the picker. This needs to be planned.

Past Work

• Arjan built out the infrastructure
• Team discussed tech requirements on the writeboard and below.
• JF build html prototypes for 2 wizards. You can see them here
• Emina conducted user testing of these prototypes. You can read her report
• Based on those findings, Jeana adjusted the prototypes and went through them with Emina. The new prototypes and wireframes of them are on the same page

Project Information

Basecamp project: here
Design: ^* for event and story wizards
Budget: Kantoor/3-anymeta/Interaction Design/common aanpassingen 2010/edit pages/project_management/BudgetEntryWizards.numbers

Strategy

• Build according to technical requirements below.
• Arjan and Ernst will build the architecture during a two day sprint.
• Jeana made wireframes for the wizards. Based on those, Jeana built html prototypes for short and long event and story wizards.
• Emina will do user testing to evaluate these.

Division of the wizards across client projects:

Image wizard – Part of ANP site
Story – RVU timeline
Person – NHM site
Event – TBD
Location/ When and where – Divided among projects

Technical Requirements also in a writeboard:

Wizards are to help people get started. Once there is data in the system, users will edit content through the edit page (From WH, 20/7/2010)

Wizards will be built as modular components that can be combined in different orders.

Some types of wizards will have more than one version. For example, there will be a long and short form photo upload wizard.

First we will design the long form for each type of thing then we will design the short form. We will be able to pick between the long and short versions depending on the use case.

In a wizard, a user can create links to other things in Anymeta, e.g. an author to a story. When these “link” wizards take the user away from the original task, the state of that task should be remembered and, after making the link, the user should return to where he or she left off.

The users should be as linear as possible such that right when a user mentions a new thing, like an author to a story, she should complete the process of adding that author before continuing with the story creation.

We will have the following modules:

• Photo upload
• Event Wizard
• Person Wizard (based on paired down jhm one)
• Organization wizard
• Location
• Article (for later)
