We are going to redesign resource requests. We will not fundamentally change the workflow, but improve the overall user experience and add some new functionality here and there.
Here's a list of all the improvements:
- Split the app in two apps: 'Submit resource request' and 'Approve resource request'
- Introduce a column picker with more options (e.g. client name, project code)
- Save your changes to the screen (column order, width, grouping)
- More visual status indicators
- Create open request bookings at the status of 'Not submitted'
- New request remarks field for communicatie purposes
- See all qualified resources, also if they do not have available hours
- Drill down into other bookings these resources have in the date range of the request
- Pass on request to another assignee
- Duplicate an existing request
- Input and display in FTE
- Send an email to all involved when something in the request changes
For an impression of the redesign, please look at this video mockup:
