Overview

To improve the usability and efficiency of our dealbase platform, we undertook a comprehensive redesign, focusing on implementing a UI library, enhancing filters, and introducing advanced configuration options. The redesign aimed to provide a more intuitive and user-friendly interface for managing deals.

Key objectives

1. Introduce Ant Design UI Library

2. Rework filters for better usability

3. Separate listing and dashboard views

4. Configure columns (show/hide, rearrange, pin)

5. Implement inline edit functionality

Solution

1. Introducing Ant Design UI Library

   • Adopted Ant Design to ensure a consistent and modern look across the platform.

   • Leveraged Ant Design's out-of-the-box components, such as hover and focus states, to enhance user experience and interface consistency.

2. Reworking filters

   • Redesigned filters to be more intuitive and cohesive.

   • Placed filters in an accessible drawer that appears upon clicking the filter option, ensuring the main interface remains uncluttered.

   • Included badges and tags to indicate active filters, allowing users to easily see and manage their applied filters.

3. Dividing listing and dashboard

   • Separated the deal listing and dashboard into distinct views.

   • The listing view focuses on displaying and managing individual deals, while the dashboard provides an overview and summary of deal statuses and metrics.

4. Configuration of columns

   • Introduced features to show/hide, rearrange, and pin columns.

   • Users can customize the table to suit their needs, making it easier to focus on the most relevant information.

   • This flexibility enhances the overall user experience and productivity.

5. Inline edit functionality

   • Implemented inline editing to allow users to quickly update deal information directly within the listing view.

   • This feature reduces the need to navigate away from the main listing, streamlining the workflow and improving efficiency.
