Dashboard tidy up

Posted by Will Woodward on 24th June 2010 in Features

Over the last few weeks we've been working on tidying up the dashboard - everything seemed unnecessarily cluttered, and here at Moobiz we don't like clutter! The Alerts pane in particular just didn't seem to have any method to its madness.

So we went about consolidating the Alerts, Calendar and My Open To-dos panes into two simple What's On and Coming Up panes.

What's On displays everything that's happening at the current moment, with overdue to-dos/subscriptions at the top, and filtering all the way down to the less important (but relevant none the less) things like chasing invoices, or unauthorised product reviews.

Coming Up shows you everything that isn't important right now, but you might like to know about, in date order. First we have to-dos that need to be started in the future, then meetings, holidays, events, birthdays and unimportant to-dos (or "ideas"). By default the items in here will be hidden, until you click "Show n items".

We feel that this has greatly improved the look and feel of the dashboard. If you have any ideas of your own we'd love to have your feedback!
