We’ve been looking at updating the look and feel of the user interface of LeaveBooker. Although we’ll be changing things here and there constantly, I thought I’d show you a sneak preview of the upcoming home page.
Updated Tabs for Summary on Home Page
So firstly we have the updated tab design which looks so much better. You’ll notice there’s a new tab — Settings & Admin, which contains links to Maintain Cover, Admin Tasks and Change Password.
These were very prominently displayed but needn’t have been.
The same tabs are used for the various bookings tabs that cover most of each employee’s home page.
The next part of the home page that has changed significantly is the Group Calendars dropdown that used to appear above the Tasks link, and required 3 clicks to view a calendar (first click the arrow on the dropdown, then select, then click the View Calendar button). The new version only requires 1 click! Take a look at it below:
The snazzy new My Calendars feature
Quite an improvement — I’m sure you will agree!!
This screenshot only has one group — Everyone. If the employee belongs to more publicly visible groups, she will see these groups under Everyone. This is a fantastic improvement in usability and you should be seeing this in the live version of LeaveBooker within the coming week.
So we’ve still been very busy behind the scenes. Another thing to look forward to is an option to run LeaveBooker on your own server. We’re working on installation instructions and some batch files to help install dependencies and LeaveBooker’s database and website.
