-
1Sidebar
The original: a grouped sidebar and a home with KPIs, an action queue and the calendar.
Good for
- Familiar layout, every section one click away
- Collapsible rail keeps 27 items manageable
- Home shows numbers, queues and the schedule together
Trade-offs
- Sidebar takes width on small laptops
- Home is dense for occasional users
-
2Calendar home
The home page is a full-width calendar, with filters on the left and what needs action on the right.
Good for
- Built for planners: the schedule is the first thing you see
- Filters and queues stay visible while you browse weeks
Trade-offs
- Less room for KPIs
- Three columns collapse into tabs on phones
-
3Top navigation
No sidebar: a mega-menu with every section, an airy card home and a tab bar on phones.
Good for
- Full page width for tables and forms
- Phone-friendly with a thumb-reachable tab bar
Trade-offs
- Deep pages are one extra click away
- The mega-menu hides the full map until opened
-
4Command center
A dense operations view with light and dark mode, a KPI strip and every queue side by side.
Good for
- See all queues at once and act without leaving the page
- Dark mode for long shifts
Trade-offs
- Dense: best for daily power users
- Small text needs a large screen
-
5Inbox
Everything to handle in one list, the selected item on the right, and keyboard shortcuts.
Good for
- Fastest triage: one list, one place to act
- Keyboard shortcuts for every common action
Trade-offs
- List-centric: less overview of numbers
- Shortcuts take a little learning
-
6Minimal
A calm, simple interface with a large search, few colours and big touch targets.
Good for
- Easy for non-technical staff
- Large text and targets, very accessible
Trade-offs
- Shows fewer things at once
- More scrolling on big screens
