Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked desktop and mobile screenshots alongside the current poll table to understand the proposed layouts, date presentation, and scrolling options. The issue does not name files or tests; done would require an agreed design and a corresponding implementation that improves the table on both desktop and mobile.

Description

design UX

Hey @dartcafe Thank you for your answer!
The arrangement of the period is confusing due to the offset of the typography. As you can see in the screenshot on top, „April 30th“ is smaller than „April 26th“ and also offset like a staircase. That gives you the feeling that they do not belong together. Underneath the date, the time is written smaller and „4:30 PM“ is smaller than „9:30 AM“. Overall, the impression of an inverted pyramid is created. If you have further options, it is more difficult to see which options are available.

In the following table we will show you @laura040801 and my ideas for a new design.

Design suggestions Description
Desktop - Tabelle erste Idee If you arrange the header in a uniform size (as you can see in the screenshot), the result would be a nicer shape. However, this variant also has weaknesses, so we tried a new structure.
- -
Desktop - alle Variante This varies depending on the information in the table. To provide a better overview, there are three options.
- -
Desktop - Mockup Here you can see a mockup of the desktop screen before and after. (Maybe you should click on them to see it bigger)
- -
Mobile - alle Variante The mobile version is also important. In the current version you can only see a fraction of the table, which makes the selection more difficult (first screen). We also applied the new options for the desktop to the mobile version.
- -
Mobile - alle fade in:out The more options there are, a scroll function should be a must-have. There are two ways to visualize this. The first would be a "fade out/in" effect. It helps to recognize that there are more opportunities.
- -
Mobile - alle Scrollleiste The second option is a "scroll bar". It also helps to recognize the other options. Given the design of Nextcloud, in our opinion this fits better because it has a clearer appearance.
- -
Mobile - Mockup Here you can see a mockup of the mobile version before and after.

What do you think about our suggestions?
Greetings Laura & Jana
