Users are tired of wasting
time by navigating to and from different sources. At the same time, they want
the information to be organized so that it was not overloaded. To solve this, I
have designed a Manager Analytics portlet with the help of Ramco’s PDK (Portal
Developmental Kit) tool. Portlets are visual representation of data; usually
role based i.e. if a manager signed in then it will show what is relevant for
the manager. If I’m looking at a coworker it will give me the basic details. In
this Manager Analytics portlet, I have designed it to show the career
development, Behavioral Appraisal, Succession Planning in a single glance.
Portlets have many rich
features to design the best user experience ever. Let me explain with
behavioral appraisal which shows the 360 degree view, comparison view of last 5
appraisal, top behaviors exhibited by employees and training development plan.
In designing this behavior
appraisal portlet, I have used tab navigator, image list, charts, transparent
grid, link, text and label. With the image list control all the appraisers are
listed with photos and a label. It will automatically enable a scrollbar when
there are more images to display than the available space. Then moving on to
charts there are several type of charts available and I have used bar chart,
radar chart, and line chart. Bar chart is used to illustrate a set of data in a
way that is as easy to understand as it is simple to read here, I have used
this chart for top behavior exhibited. Radar chart are useful way to display
multivariate observations with arbitrary number of variables, In this case I
have used the radar chart for 360 degree appraisal; Line chart which displays
information as a series of data points connected by straight line segment, I
have used this line chart for showing the behavior trend for the past 5
appraisals. This would visually excite the users and give them the required
information at a glance.
