An important feature for our enterprise users is the ability to manage their tasks via their mobile device. While there are many consumer task apps on the market, our solution would allow users to securely sync their Exchange or Domino tasks to their Good for Enterprise app.
The placement of newly created items at the top of the list fulfilled some key user goals:
The ability to create or edit a task with full details gives the user control of task settings: Priority, Start, Reminder Date/Time, and Notes. There was an earlier iteration that didn’t require a secondary screen, but development schedules didn’t allow for it.
The fields are sorted by priority, based on user feedback. Start Date and Notes are not often needed, hence they are placed at the bottom of the form.
Users expected past due tasks to carry over to each following day that they aren’t completed, ensuring they don’t get overlooked.
The placement of past due tasks at the top of All Tasks, Today, and This Week helps the user visualize their workload and decide how to tackle past due items in relation to other pending tasks.
When the user taps on a checkbox, the task title gets a strikethrough, the due date is replaced by the completed date, and the task disappears after a slight delay. This is an experience similar to crumbling a handwritten task before throwing it away.
