Presently, we have set up global theming with Material Design for Bootstrap. This is the anonymous user / public landing page.
From the homepage, anonymous users have access to a public project list and can view public details of project and can request more details via the system.
Now, after logging in, we have navigated to the Project Autofill page. This functionality allows for our client to upload project proposals to the system and automatically fill out the project creation form.
Now, after submitting the project PDFs to the system, the user will have an opportunity to review the information and make changes before making the project.
On this view, the user has a tailored dashboard, which shows them their specific assignments or unassigned projects. This also only filters to projects in the drafting stage and are currently not getting physical work done. Users can enter compound queries and sort by columns to get the right subset and order for doing things such as exporting to CSV.
From the project list, we can click the "Details" button and be taken to the project detail view. The importance of this view is to make it simple and quick to get information about a project in great detail without jumping between different files and programs. This has helped decrease clicks and time spent managing projects significantly.
Lastly, one of the most important aspects of the project is the modification process. On the project details page, you can add/edit modifications. By clicking on the "Add Modification" button, the user is taken to a new view where they can add the modification, like an attachment, to the project and it will reflect changes such as total budget, start time, end time, etc.
After submitting the new modification, it will appear on the project details page in a list with the other modifications.
