This settings also overlaps the fields awkwardly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Advanced features pertaining to the form fields were located outside the builder environment so it could cause a lot of back and forth<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> The reports feature was not performing optimally as they could only be viewed and not exported.<\/p>\n<p>These were the most important among the others I noticed.

Builder environment:<\/strong> This is because a lot of users found this a little clunky to navigate and it is where users carry out the bulk of interaction with the platform. Luckily this coincided with a compulsory backend rewrite of the application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Rethinking the reports page:<\/strong> This is because the reports page is also what users use to make sense of the data collected. It is one of the most important parts of the platform, from research we see that the way we designed it function was not the way the users wanted to use it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221;]<strong>Design Decisions from User Persona<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The design decisions highlighted below were put into consideration to cater for a more mature audience.

On joining the team, I pitched the idea to the necessary authorities, and after a lot of back and forth and iterations on the design. We agreed to go with my suggestion.<\/p>\n<p>I carried out a small user testing session using a maze (a user testing platform) and a few people that had some experience with form builders. I realised that about 80% of the testers found the new solution to be a lot more intuitive than the first. The new design has been implemented presently and we have received about 50+ positive reviews on the intuitiveness of the builder. We have also gotten more positive user feedback from our users.[\/vc_column_text]\t<div id=\"thb-image-6a0480640e712\" class=\"caption-style1 animation right-to-left alignleft full  thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"mfp-image\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?fit=1600%2C900&#038;ssl=1\" target=\"\" title=\"formplus builder 1\" data-thb-group=\"\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?fit=1600%2C900&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"thb_image   thb-ignore-lazyload attachment-full thb-lazyload lazyload\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?fit=1600%2C900&amp;ssl=1\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?resize=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?resize=20%2C11&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?resize=320%2C180&amp;ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?resize=1280%2C720&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?resize=1320%2C743&amp;ssl=1 1320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/soniaeno.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/formplus-builder-1.png?resize=600%2C338&amp;ssl=1 600w\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_row_inner thb_max_width=&#8221;max_width&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221;]\n<h4><strong>Before<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> The grey background and dull blues used in the builder environment made the interface look generally dull.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Adding a form field required an extra button to be clicked for the users to edit the form.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> At every little edit, the user was presented with too many settings for each field which ends up feeling confusing if users were to make multiple edits on large forms.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/4UYR5aumOHI&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221;]\n<h4><strong>After<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> Although I had to retain the blues as they are the brand colours, I made them less prominent in the builder and used white as the background colour to make the interface appear clean<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> I added an edit state to appear whenever a user added a form field.
