ServiceBox has introduced a revamped Timesheet List, providing users with a cleaner and more user-friendly experience. Below, we highlight key differences between the "Old World" and the newly developed "New World" interface.
Key Changes in the New Timesheet List:
1. Cleaner, Neater Design with Improved Spacing:
- The updated Timesheet List offers a more streamlined look. The design has been optimized to create a more organized and spacious interface, making it easier to navigate compared to the previous version.
2. Print-All Button Disabled for Better Usability:
- In the "Old World," users could click "Print All" without selecting any timesheets, leading to confusion when no data was displayed.
- In the "New World," the "Print All" button is disabled by default. Users must first select a specific user or time period before printing a timesheet. This update reduces confusion and improves the overall user experience by ensuring meaningful information is printed.
- A validation message will prompt users to select the required fields before printing.
3. Enhanced Validation and Messaging for Adding Timesheets:
- In the old version, users could only add timesheets if a user was pre-selected for the current period.
- The new system introduces improved validation messaging. Users are now guided through the process, ensuring they select the required fields before proceeding. This helps prevent errors and improves efficiency when managing timesheets.
Functionality Comparison:
- Old World: The "Print All" button allowed printing without proper selection, often resulting in no data being displayed.
- New World: The "Print All" button is disabled until a user or time period is selected, with clear validation to guide the user.
- Old World: Limited validation when adding a timesheet.
- New World: More robust validation and clearer messaging for users, improving usability and reducing errors.
Additional Notes:
- This revamp focuses exclusively on the Timesheet List screen. Other screens are still using the older system, but ServiceBox plans to gradually migrate these to the new interface.
- Users will notice an updated Timesheet logo and enhanced use of spacing on the new list, improving both appearance and functionality. However, the underlying technology behind the screen remains the same for now, with further enhancements expected in the future.
