I'm sure the Intel screen is a work-in-progress anyhow, but here are my thoughts:
It's extremely hard to scan-read the filters the way they're arranged at the moment (not logically ordered; text labels are neither left-aligned nor regularly spaced).
- Instead of the horizontal flow layout below the map, they should be to the right of the map; 1 element per row. (e.g.
this)
- They should also be alphabetically ordered.
- If some are important enough to appear out of order, they should be grouped separately.
This will make the screen much easier to use, and also easier to localise.
More generally;
- The colour coding is good; can it be expanded upon?
- the "New!" tag given to events is good.
- Replace 'New' filter with 'Recent'.
Change its meaning from "events that haven't been viewed yet" to "events that happened within the last x days, but have not yet expired.".
Reasoning: Atm it's too easy to click an event, then lose track of it because it no-longer appears in 'new' where you 1st found it.
Analogy: Your Husband/Wife/Partner/Parent 'helpfully' tidied away your stuff before you'd finished using it.
