When designing the home page you need to work through the following steps:

  1. Identify frequently used функции;
  2. To distribute what functions you want to assign to a specific ролей;
  3. To establish a hierarchy of these functions on the main page.
  4. To define additional elements.

As an example, we divide into several groups the elements of the prototype:

1. The input field

Can perform several different functions:

  • Search записям;
  • Search selected разделу;
  • Select the desired menu item (similar to Spotlight in macOS).

Correctly inserted the input field will greatly help the experienced user of the system and reduce the time for searching for the required section or entry.

Widgets need to display quick statistics on the system. Essentially a widget is a mini the dashboard with basic statistics. Possible any widget needs to redirect to the desired section. For example, click on the statistics new applications navigate to the appropriate section.
