MY ROLE
Introducing data visualisation in Mobile. Having data visualisation already placed in o9’s web platform, I worked on bringing the mobile data visualisation up to the mark which involved identifying the user goals, conceptualised flows, created wireframes, visual designs, and communication with the interactions to developers. Revamping Web data visualisation.
DISCOVERY
Users request,
“Offline reports that can be pushed onto users’ tabs/smartphones and that allow users to navigate and drill down the reports and view pretty snazzy graphs and tables.”
“Be able to type in natural language like queries into a ubiquitous search bar and get the appropriate, specific answer.”
GOALS
Design an Interactive and seemless access to the pre-configured web reports
One of the main themes for field productivity is to have information available at the user’s fingertips. There are two main workflows by which data is consumed:
- Structured reports: In this case, there are standard reports that the user is familiar with and uses very often. Structured reports also ensure certain user work practice hygiene i.e. ensure process adherence
