Denis,

 

At a quick glance, my comment is that I like the design.

 

Comments:

We don't usually use the "Dashboard", but prefer to go straight to
"Private Rooms", so I don't have a lot of experience with the
"Dashboard".  

 

I like the look of the tabs, some of our staff had difficulty realising
the previous Rooms tabs were actually tabs (due to colour and shape). 

 

I do like "Coming Conferences". I would suggest using the plural
"Conferences" instead of "Conference".

 

I also "Favourite rooms" (Note: the Australian language file would spell
"Favourite" differently to the American language file).

 

The "Now on live" is excellent too. Sometimes Our users cannot find the
room for the current meeting they are supposed to be attending.

 

The "How to conference" quick help has always confused our people. They
click "Start" but end up in the wrong "rooms" tab, for example, their
meeting may be in a "Private Room" but when pressing "Start" they end up
in "Public Rooms" with no meetings currently running and become
confused.  

 

Is it possible to remove the first "Start" button step, and that would
make the first step to be "1 Choose Room".  After all the Dashboard has
several rooms currently being displayed as they log in (including the
one they should chose for the current meeting, presuming that there is
one).  

 

If we did this, then the statement "follow the 1-2-3 steps to enter a
conference" would truly be a three step process.  And the statement is
still valid if they want to select any of the "Rooms" tabs and then
select a room, 'the process of selecting a room'.

If we remove the Start button, we could also remove the "Calender"
button, as the help statement could say, "or choose the Calendar tab to
set up and plan a meeting."  It always seemed strange to be to have the
Calendar button when there was a Calendar tab.

 

 

Thanks,

 

George Kirkham
