Permissions
Prisidio is an awesome product that helps users securely organize their most important info, and then share that info with their most important people.
After using it for a bit, I kept feeling like I got stuck on the "Permissions" tab each time I visited it. I felt like I always needed to re-read and re-learn what my options were, leading to information overload.
My goal with this small design challenge was to achieve the following two goals:
Reduce the overall complexity
Reinforce that the user only needs to make three main decisions
Existing Design
Updated Design
Conclusions
In my updated design, I accomplished the design goals as follows:
Converted one of the three options to an on/off switch
• Now a user only has to ask themselves if they want each row on or off, rather than asking themselves about each of the three options each time.
• If a button is off, the user can move on
• If a button is on, the app sets the option to the default setting
"Add - Edit - Delete" Updates
• Rows now flow smoothly from "top-to-bottom" rather than "left-to-right"
• Created a title for each radio button that is uniform across all three sections
Visual Hierarchy Updates
• Added background color to the header/footer so they are separated from the three rows
• Each of the three rows are now indented, helping them stand out more
• Incorporated a larger range of font weights which gives a user freedom to choose whether they want to skim this screen or dig into more details
