- I promised Roule on Friday that I would make note of our design preference to separate individual dashboards from Cohort manager dashboards (which are essentially CBO/ school/ ECD dashboards OR Collab partner dashboards).  If you've gone into the link above you will have seen that we have written our briefing document that way.  Sorry that this note comes afterwards instead of before.  My bad :( 
We found there's just too much competing information for a Colhort Manager user if we combine indiv and organisational info. (Think of a Head of Department / NGO programme manager who could have Learner/Programme member status themselves with all the information that goes with that.) We found that we were then squeezing all the information about her team/ cohort into one tab at the end which made no sense.  
Jane C.
Hi
Anna van der Westhuizen Anna
and
Roule Le Roux Roule
... you mean this doc I think.  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D5EtWDk4LtvR8PDM0gwKXv3cmaZshdUmT-3Y_mQo0w8/edit?usp=sharing

The INDIV and SCHOOL/ ECD/ NGO dashboards are at draft 2 status now. I would ideally like one more round with our MEL team tomorrow morning with hand over to you at lunch time. 

The COLLAB PARTNER dashboards need work with the team tomorrow afternoon.  I am hopeful that we can hand over everything other than the reports at that stage.   Reports will need a bit longer. 

What is becoming clear is how important it is going to be for
Ian Parsons Ian
and
Annakie Gammon Annakie
  to give input into the functionality of the Salesforce - Learndash data flow.  Does this happen before or after design?  I am really not wanting you to have to do a whole lot of work make our pipedreams beautiful if they are not possible.

Would it be best to present this doc to Ian and Annekie first perhaps?
Anna v.
Morning
Jane Coombe Jane
! I know you're still working your way through draft 1 of the dashboards, do you perhaps have an indication of when you can hand your feedback over to Roule? I want to make sure we schedule sufficient time to go through everything.

Hi Robs! Yes sure, I'll replace the jpgs with the pngs. Do you have an actual time deadline? Sorry...so many other deadlines today!

Hey Roulé! I haven't been back into the XD file since we chatted...so I definitely didn't make any edits. That's too weird!

 could you review this document for me? I realise that sizes might be a little different on your side. I can easily adjust pixel sizes, but aspect ratio is important.

9am works great for me
Jacqui B.
I'll set up a meeting from 9 to 1pm and we can just dip in and out as we see fit?
Jacqui B.
Hi Roulé! All good thanks, I hope you are too 😊 That's perfect, what time were you thinking of?
Roule L.
Hi Jacqui , hope all is good on your side. We chatted in the XD file about a inverse version of the Wordworks logo, I can show you an example I have in a quick chat tomorrow it you have time. I also found a few small things to edit in the .svg logos we supplied. Will show you then too.
I see you've made some good progress on the shop and was thinking to work on any revisions and comments to tomorrow through to Friday. Does that work for you?
Roule L.
O, I see now that I misunderstood, Happy to go with the option you liked
Roule L.
The first example may be more beautiful to look at, but beyond 3 tabs it becomes as squeeze and it will cause display issues easier on smaller screens. So option 2 is more versatile over screen sizes. 
Roule L.
We have four tabs in on some of the Programme pages, so there I think we need to use the second option
Jacqui B.
It's very unlikely that we'll have more than four tabs...if that helps?
Jacqui B.
We really like it Roule! We prefer the first option, because the 'content' is the part that the white holds together. And the selection guidance remains separate. 
Roule L.
Seeing it now, I think the buttons or tabs should be in the white part
Roule L.
Roule L.
For the content pages where tabs are more likely to grow, we could do this?
Roule L.
Roule L.
Let me know your thoughts and we can find a way
Roule L.
I think maximum four tabs for this for mobile - This is specific to the teams section, so we will have to decide if it is worth catering for more. Would you rather get rid of tabs altogether on desktop and mobile?
Ian P.
Thanks Roulé! Do you think that will work if we have 4 tabs (or worst case, more)? Also note, on smaller screens the fonts will need to be a bit smaller to fit into that space
Roule L.
Ian, this should answer your question about tabs 
Roule L.
Jane C.
this is A Great Relief, hey
Jacqui Botha Jacqui
 - THANK YOU

Jane Coombe Jane
! Yes, we have a plan: 
- Basic products with prices are set in Sage by your team
- These products and prices are automatically synced to WooCommerce, which hosts the website's shop. 
- We can add additional information to products in WooCommerce as needed, and link them to the correct resource. 
- The resource will then display the most recent price from Sage. 
- We will have some flexibility to adjust pricing within WooCommerce, but we will regard Sage as the holder of truth when it comes to pricing.

 I am sure we can work out a clever way to manage this in the backend- thanks for the note

Robyn Robyn
Ian Parsons Ian
Roule Le Roux Roule
- here's a puzzle.  If we are mostly expecting people to shop for/ browse resources from within the resource pages (being sent to E-commerce really only for the financial transaction), how do we provide prices in the resource pages (to enable a decision to go to cart) without giving ourselves a huge problem every year with price changes.  If the prices were just 'in the shop' it seems it would be a nice centralised place to make the changes.  Is there a way for changed pricing in the shop to reflect on the resource pages.  See red square in page image below.
Jane C.
Jacqui Botha Jacqui
Roule Le Roux Roule
 - looks like our plan will work. Thanks, Robyn!
Robyn
Jane Coombe Jane
 thanks so much for the update  - that sounds like a great plan!  Jan makes sense, prototyping for LMS is due to start on the 13th of January and I think most of the dashboard goodies actually fits in there. 
Jane C.
Ian Parsons Ian
Robyn Robyn
- we're in with Roule and it seems very do-able to complete shop related design before the end of this year.  We are not so sure that we can do the DASHBOARDS however - particularly as they link to so many different elements and will affect lots of WW workflow.  Is it a problem for us to build them by end January?  This would leave us 'free' to work on LMS design after this. 
Ian P.
Thanks
Jane Coombe Jane
. Adding my thoughts here: 
- I think you can leave the standard ecommerce pages to us, e.g. checkout. 
- On resources and courses, we need to understand how we will show what is available for purchase, and how we will present information such as pricing. 
- Also - are you planning on offering a subscription package at launch? 
- Try to think about the experience from a user's perspective. What functionality would they find useful? Would they want to search for particular resources by topic, age group or end user, or would they prefer to purchase bundles, much in the same way as you've put together your teachers' packs? 
- It might be that the ecommerce component is an additional layer on top of the existing layouts you've built, but you also might want a completely separate shop section. I think especially for printed resources it would be useful to have a dedicated shop. 
Jane C.
Roule Le Roux Roule
- we are working to line up our website prototype with pipeline and data implications .. but we know we have to jump into prototypes for ECommerce and Dashboards soon.  We are wanting to know for the Ecommerce if you are going to be building some starting pages for us and then things would work with Jacs as they did for the home page/ resource hub.  Or if not, whether you have examples to share because we are pretty blank.  We know that there needs to be a way for users to purchase downloads of resources/ registration for courses/ print resources and also a way for people to make a donation, but the functionality is not clear..   We do know to use the style sheet, but its more that we don't know enough about what is needed on these kinds of pages... Sorry not very clear but that's a reflection of where I am at. Jacs may want to add in.

I've put them into our collaboration folder on Dropbox, along with the AI files I used to do the exports (folder: XD assets_1 Dec).

"Some are quite old, others are still in draft form, and a few are being updated. I hope they will be helpful for her either way. I think it would be valuable for us too to have a conversation with her.
I’m happy to coordinate directly with her to set up the meeting."

She's not on Basecamp, so please share your email so I can send it to her, and also ensure you have folder access.
