ISW - Diagnosis Page Tweaks

Improving Readability and User Experience

The current iteration of the Input Diagnosis Page has received some valuable feedback, highlighting areas for improvement. In this article, we will delve into the suggested tweaks to enhance the page's readability and user experience.

Enhancing Field Readability

One of the primary concerns raised was the difficulty in distinguishing between field names and field values. The uniform font and spacing made it challenging for users to quickly identify the relevant information. To address this issue, we can explore the following options:

• Bold Field Names: By making the field names bold, we can create visual contrast and draw attention to the key information. This will enable users to quickly scan the page and understand the context of each field.
• Color-Coded Fields: Another approach is to use different colors for field names and field values. This will not only improve readability but also create a visually appealing design. However, it's essential to choose colors that are accessible and don't cause visual fatigue.
• Custom Font Styles: We can also experiment with custom font styles, such as italic or underlined text, to differentiate between field names and field values. This will add an extra layer of visual interest and make the page more engaging.

Rethinking Tooltip Icons

The current implementation of tooltip icons has been criticized for not being effective. To address this issue, we can shift the tooltip labels onto the field names themselves, eliminating the need for the '?' icons. This will create a cleaner and more intuitive design, making it easier for users to understand the context of each field.

Consistent Hyperlink Placement

Another suggestion is to move the hyperlink on the Message Errors from the field values to the field names. This will create a consistent design pattern, mirroring the placement of the hyperlink on the Received Message Count by Stream. By doing so, we can create a more cohesive and user-friendly experience.

Benefits of the Tweaks

The proposed tweaks will have a significant impact on the user experience, making the Input Diagnosis Page more readable, intuitive, and engaging. By addressing the concerns raised by the feedback, we can:

• Improve User Engagement: By creating a more visually appealing design, we can increase user engagement and reduce the likelihood of users becoming frustrated or disinterested.
• Enhance User Understanding: By making the field names and values more distinguishable, we can improve user understanding and reduce the time spent on the page.
• Increase Productivity: By creating a more efficient and intuitive design, we can increase productivity and reduce the likelihood of errors.

Conclusion

The proposed tweaks to the Input Diagnosis Page will have a significant impact on the user experience, making the page more readable, intuitive, and engaging. By addressing the concerns raised by the feedback, we can create a more cohesive and user-friendly design, improving user engagement, understanding, and productivity. By implementing these tweaks, we can take the first step towards creating a more exceptional user experience.
