Summary

This is a working page listing all the delta features to be added to the app in order to evaluate the current sidebar, app bar and product navigation design.

Feature List

  • Appbar buttons
  • Better toolbar bitmaps for the App bar icons - to indicate that these behave differently than the other toolbar items (different bitmaps for Active, Rollover (optional), Mousedown and Selected).

  • Basic Filtering Feedback
  • Icons next to the OOTB collections in the sidebar - these change for the All collection as you select different app bar items.
  • Text for All Collection depending on app bar item selected
    • All my items MimiYin Should this be called Triage or Dashboard? Dashboard seems to be commonly used now.
    • All my tasks
    • All my events
    • All my mail
  • Collections in the sidebar should be greyed out if there are no items of the "selected app bar kind" in that collection.
    • We should also have message in summary table view (no items of that kind). MimiYin There are no tasks in your Home collection.

  • Shared collections
  • If a collection has been shared, the text (shared) should be replaced by an icon - outgoing vs incoming share.
  • Sharing a subset of a collection ie: events only.
    • We need a visual queue to indicate that only a portion of this collection's items have been shared. The current proposal is to have a 2nd set of sharing icons that show that a collection in the All mode is partially shared.
  • RO and MD effect on sharing icons. Click sharing icons to bring up collection detail view to manage share.

  • Item creation
  • Collection Creation - Double-click on white space in the sidebar.
      • By default the collection name is greyed out if there are no items in it. This is the same across all Apps.

  • DnD
  • Feedback on cursor to differentiate between Adding, Moving and Deleting
  • Dragging and dropping items into a kind specific tab automatically stamps them as this kind (logged as bug).
