UIO button (gear in circle) appears on the bottom left corner when the user opens a page. The button disappears (transitioning downward) when the user scrolls down the page content. The button reappears (transitioning upward) when the user scrolls up the page content.

The preference panel opens (transitioning upward, overlapping content) when the user selects the UIO button.

The preference panel collapses when the user selects the UIO button, the user selects the content, or the user swipes down on the content. 

General interaction:

  • navigating between preferences
    • swiping up and down
    • or selecting the down arrow (moves only one direction)
  • adjusting preferences

  1. Notes from Community Meeting discussion about UI Options mobile designs

    November 5, 2014

    • panels on desktop version are fixed-width, but this is not good for mobile
    • we should use relative widths instead
    • should we use same styling as for desktop (with updated adjusters that work best for mobile)
      • e.g. use text-field steppers like those used in the Cloud4All PMT/PCP
      • change the on/off switches also to match Cloud4All
    • should we limit the max font size for mobile
      • what are some other mobile-specific issues for the other preferences?

    the current design:

    • uses space well
    • has no reset/undo button
    • has no responsive/landscape design
    • affects itself (prefs apply to tool)?
    • integrated into system (question)
    • breadcrumb dots are good
    • not consistently styled with desktop (does this matter?)

    Details:

    • emphasis button - active/inactive states seem reversed
    • captions language drop-down and space 
    • arrow at bottom - need top and bottom? remove altogether?

    Merits of live preview on mobile?

    • use full screen for panels? 
      • if yes, we need a reset button since user will not experience effects of preference adjustments until they close UIO
