Re: Usability - documentation

 

Hello,

I take note of different suggestions and ideas regarding ergonomy.

The Wiki doesn't work right now, our administrator system is working to fix this. When it works again, we could create a wiki "Ergonomy" with your suggestions about status.

From my side, I created a blog (http://useability-openerp.blogspot.com/). I will post new guide lines this week.

Best Regards

Aline Preillon

@Aline

One thing which I miss is a wiki or any other community editable document where all the suggestions (which are distributed over many pages) are listed with a status

* draft

* approved by the community

* approved by OpenERP

* assigned + Milestone

* in progress ()

* done

I just want to listen some places we have started

http://doc.openerp.com/book/10/index.html

* Lost Page(!!!) WorkshopErgonomy#Ideas_and_Propositions <http://www.openobject.com/wiki/index.php/WorkshopErgonomy#Ideas_and_Propositions>

* Lost Page(!!!) - http://www.openobject.com/wiki/index.php/WorkshopErgonomy

* in April ... Coming soon .... http://doc.openerp.com/contribute/15_guidelines/useability_guidelines.html

I (desperately) repeat ( some of most important )

* unified layout of forms (see attached mockup and chricar_trunk_layout <https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eopenerp-commiter/openobject-addons/chricar_trunk_layout> )

* length of long data fields - content must be readable - must mostly use full screen width (usually names, addresses, ...) very often the distinguishing characters are at the end of the name and hence invisible (except web client which word-wraps)

* unified report specs http://www.mail-archive.com/openerp-expert-framework@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00063.html (good example: account_financial_report)

** additionally very very important - ALL tree structured lists need hierarchical numbering https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+bug/591310

** default suppress/optionally print lines with all zero values to reduce list/paper output

* http://piratepad.net/communitydays-usability <http://piratepad.net/communitydays-usability>

* Blueprints <https://blueprints.launchpad.net/%7Eoffice-chricar?searchtext=usability>

* Usability Bugs <https://bugs.launchpad.net/%7Eoffice-chricar?field.searchtext=usability>

BTW - may be this list can be mirrored at nabble.com as the other expert lists where rss is available (or do I miss something)

Hope that helps

*Mockup Document Layout*

Currently every document has a different layout although most documents are "mirrored" activities used for sales, purchase, internal processes.

For enhanced usability it is necessary to have a unified layout (as already proposed during community says) to allow quick orientation in every form

I suggest to have 6 columns

All Partner, Address, Account, Product, Variants (long names) etc should have colspan=4 to allow complete display of the name


*for every document (always visible header) PO/SO/Picking/Invoice*

Internal Number

	

Document Date

	

(Company)

Parnter Name

	

Partner Reference

Partner Address

	

Parnter Reference Date

(Document Type)

	

(special)

	

Currency


*General Tab - Sales / Purchase*

Shipping Address

	

Packed/received

Partner Contact

	

Invoiced

Warehouse

	

Delivery Date

	

Paid

Pricelist

	

Payment Term

	

Backorder

SO/PO -Lines


Other Tab -- Sale / Purchase (like new SO)


*General Tab -- Warehouse Incoming/ Outgoing / Delivery/ internal (stock picking)*

Shipping Address

	

Packed/received

Partern Contact

	

Invoiced

Warehouse

	

Delivery Date
