First Concept

The problem

Gene, Lyndon and Lauren came up with this initial concept for the app.
‍
Immediately I saw a few problems that needed to be looked at.

They used red on the calendar to signify working days and when a request is approved. Green was days that you’ve highlighted. I found their use of red and green on the calender confusing as the semiotics of red is rejected and green is confirmed, this leaves no colour for when its approved.

When you select a day, you are brought to a new screen that gives a highlight or comment option for the manager to see.I found the excessive screens to be confusing and lot of work for a user.

The overall flow and navigation of the app was the biggest problem which needed to be solved.

Easy Request System

The solution

Employee Interface

After many discussions and research, I came up with a solution that reduced screens, made it easier to navigate and more efficient for both manager and employee.

Simply press on a day and a scroll bar will pop up with the days you're working and an option to make a request.
‍
Red indicates the days you’re working
Green indicates an approved request
Orange indicates a pending request
Grey indicates the current day

Employee Request
System

Manager Interface

Orange indicates to the manager days there has been requests made. The manager can quickly accept or deny in the scroll bar. If the manager wants to see the employees comment they just tap on the underlined request.
