ELO Administration Console

The ELO Administration Console is a tool in which most of the system options can be set for the repositories in ELO.

Duration

About 5 or 6 years, from the beginning of the implementation of Version 9 until Version 20.

What was it all about

A new module to set all the options of ELO ECM Suite had to be made. It is used to manage users, permissions, keywording and metadata forms, icons, and many other settings.

What was my part

I designed the layout and information architecture, icons, concept and usability consulting, UX writing, expert reviews and support within the company, interface design of new features and their prototypes. I planned the usability tests, which we did together as a team.

What I learned

Besides a deep understanding of all the options to be set for an ELO Installation, I also learned about the limitations of UX trying to get through in a tech-driven development and I learned that being a team player means, embracing any type of team.

What I liked the most

Getting to know many details of our software and a good overview of the system. Finding out the historical reasons why something is made in a certain way. Understanding exactly what the feature does and translate it into information for the user.
