StaffUI takes advantage of "rich client" browser technologies to provide a powerful, friendly interface for internal business workflow.
Using slide-out tabs, powerful searching, and the ability to bookmark content, work tasks will proceed smoothly and purposefully to completion. Business area graphics provide context to orient users, and link images facilitate rapid recognition for quick navigation.
The following list highlights some of the strengths of StaffUI:
•Framework tuned to work flow and navigation.
•Business menus with breadcrumbs, sub-menus and business area branding.
•Thumbnail support for images including size selection at run-time.
•Multiple document upload (including drag-drop) with progress bars.
•Slide in search panel providing search results independent of main presentation.
•Searches automatically use “contains” for all text fields and support partial word.
•Process slide in provides major work flow context improvement and tracks the user’s current process for easy return from research elsewhere in the system.
•Field highlighting of errors and passive error correction provide low stress editing.
•User preferences automatically retained for edit sizes, column sizes, column order, etc.
•Text search on all text fields in the To Do List and other grids provides rapid filtering.
•High priority has been given to usability (intuitive, consistent, complete and efficient) for both simple and complex scenarios reducing training and usage costs.
StaffUI is hosted in a browser window. Multiple browser windows can be open at the same time.
Beside the POSSE logo in the top left corner of the framework are the following buttons:
•The To Do List
•Current Process
•Business Menu
In the upper right corner are the User Menu buttons and the Help button.
When the User Menu button is selected, a drop-down reveals the following buttons:
•Settings
•Change Password
•Log Off
Along the left side of the browser window, a slide out Quick Search Panel is accessible. When a job is displayed in the framework, a slide out Process panel is available on the right side of the framework.
