Challenge: Improving Administrative Efficiency and User Management
AON faced the challenge of enhancing its user and client management system to streamline workflows for administrators and improve platform usability. The primary goal was to build an intuitive dashboard that empowered administrators to manage clients, users, and surveys while ensuring data accuracy, security, and seamless interactions.
Specific challenges included:
- Simplifying client and user search functions for efficient data retrieval.
Enhancing administrative controls, such as role assignment, permissions management, and active/inactive user states. - Automating password reset processes and incorporating real-time alerts to ensure seamless support.
- Designing a user interface that balanced functionality, clarity, and ease of use while maintaining AON’s branding guidelines.
Solution: A Comprehensive User and Client Management Platform
To address these challenges, I designed and developed a user-centric platform for AON with a focus on efficiency, usability, and security. Key features and improvements included:
Streamlined Client and User Search
- Developed a unified search interface for clients and users with robust filters, enabling administrators to quickly locate specific records.
- Designed a responsive system to display user details, including name, role, permissions, and survey performance, upon selection.
Enhanced User Management Features
- Introduced dynamic tools for managing user roles (e.g., Admin, Viewer) and permissions (e.g., View, Edit).
- Enabled administrators to toggle active/inactive states, restricting or enabling user access based on their status.
- Created intuitive workflows for updating user profiles, including editable fields for name, email, phone number, and manager ID.
Automated Password Management
- Integrated a password reset system that automated the sending of email instructions to users.
- Designed real-time alerts to confirm successful email dispatch, ensuring transparency for administrators.
Real-Time Alerts and Save Features
- Implemented real-time save functionality to confirm changes, such as profile edits or status updates.
- Alerts were designed to notify administrators of successful actions, such as “User information saved,” reducing uncertainty.
User-Centric Interface Design
- Crafted an intuitive dashboard with clear hierarchical navigation for managing clients, users, and surveys.
Scalable System Architecture
- Designed the platform to handle large volumes of user and client data without compromising performance or responsiveness.
- Modular architecture allowed for future enhancements, such as advanced reporting or integration with other AON systems.
