The startup page already includes the name of the house, and Rachel starts off with inputting old tasks that Greg has left. The tasks require a task name and a description, and if the task has been completed (or is in the process of completion), she also writes in a date of completion and an amount of money spent. When she is finished with the tasks, she clicks submit, which saves the data, and the next section, the budget / year, is revealed. This section is optional. Rachel does not know the old budget, so only puts down her current budget, and presses submit. At that point, she realizes that she forgot a task, and mis-typed the budget. She goes back and corrects the details, then presses either submit button. She then adds a few of the requested tasks that she will be looking into, and presses submit. A popup button comes up, and she clicks no to check her work. Finding no problems, she presses submit again, then yes on the popup button.
She then comes to a page to input the residents, which she does, then presses done.
This concludes the start up, and she is brought to the startup page. She sees the tasks that are up already, and notices that there is a task that was moved up by the contracted company, and she clicks the task, which brings up the details in a popup that blocks the screen. She then clicks edit, which changes the popup to another screen that allows her to edit the details. She changes the date, and then clicks save. (On the bottom, accidentally forgot to draw it). This brings her back to the main page. She then schedules a previously unscheduled (or future) task in the same way, and decides to email the house to let them know that the task has been scheduled by checking the box that says email.
At a later date, she logs in again, and this time types in the house name. That brings her directly to the front page. She needs to delete a resident, and add a new one, and therefore clicks edit residents. She checks the delete button on that resident, and clicks add resident, and types in the information. Once that is completed, she clicks submit.
She is brought back to the main page, and decides to add a new task, based on the emails she gets from the residents. She creates a new task, and leaves the date and amount of money spent blank, as it is a future task.
Analysis
- Learnability
- Good:
- Bad:
- Efficiency
- Good: Most of the web site is rather efficient and streamlined, allowing for quick input of tasks, and quick editing of tasks.
- Bad:
- Safety
- This Good: This system is relatively safe, as most of the aspects can be edited, including the budget, residents, and all tasks, scheduled and not. Most actions are reversible.
- Bad: The only problems that may occur are in misspelling the name of the house, which, in login, simply does not log you in, or in creating a new account for the house, in which case, you can simply discard that web site and try again, you can as the account is not actually created until you first press the submit button. The other area which may cause concern is the editing of residents. The only way to change a resident's information is by deleting the resident, and adding the resident again.
