About the project
OmniSci is a company that focuses on accelerated analytics and data science. With their platform, their users can build dashboards and generate unique insights about their products and services. As a new addition to our platform, we designed a new feature called the dashboard manager.
My role on the project
At OmniSci, our great team included: A director of UX, a Product Designer (me), a Visualization Engineer, a Project Manager, and the Dev team. After collaborating with the team, my boss has assigned me to be the owner of the project. I worked on the iterations, building design system components, polished high fidelity screens, and prototypes.
The problem
The problem that arises is that we have multiple users who are building all these dashboards and generating all these insights without having any way of organizing them.
Prototype
At this stage, I was experimenting with what does it mean to be organized? After some sessions with our users, certain features that came to mind were sorting, filtering, sharing, assigning tags, and many others. I wanted to figure out a flow to better understand how would these interact.
The final designs
After multiple iterations, the final screens were presented. They fully captured all the different components that we tried to incorporate, as well as placement and the importance of staying true to our vision and brand consistency by utilizing our current design system.
Solutions
In order to provide the user with a way to organize their dashboards and environment, they would need a dashboard manager in place that would allow them the ability to filter by different parameters and show dashboards results, create custom views, have the option to place dashboards in virtual folders, have sorting options, and assign permissions.
Results
Once we had the system in place, we were able to increase the number of new users and increase revenue, provide existing big clients with better tools to do their jobs, and maintain great business partnerships with our users and stakeholders while sharing our growth toward innovating our product.
Main takeaways
Throughout this project, I’ve learned the importance of listening to your customers and trying to solve their daily problems, improve our product, and continue to deliver an enjoyable experience. Also, it was important to constantly validate these designs with our development team to see what would be possible and how might we get close to satisfying all ends.
