Jirav: New Feature
Announcements

Project Overview

Problem to Solve

Jirav is a financial data modeling company that works on 2-4 week feature enhancements, which means even two four weeks they are adding new features to their application. They realized they were lacking when it came to informing users when new features were being released. I put together a simple carousel that introduces new features. A user can click through the different screens to read about all the different features. If the description is not enough the user can click the “Learn More” button which would launch an instructional video that explains the features in depth.

Process

I worked with their primary instructor to collaborate on ideas. He normally created a blog post with instructions how to use a new feature. He helped me understand the type of information that needed to be displayed and I created the concepts.

Results

I created a simple carousel with a screenshot and brief description of the new feature. I added a Learn More button which launched an instructional video on  how to use the features. I also added a New Features button to the Help dropdown, this allowed the user to access the new features any time they needed to.

Business Impact

Users were more easily informed of updates and had the ability to go back and see them any time they needed to during the feature update cycles.

Carousel

When a user logs in and new features have been updated to will be directed to the “Introducing: New Feature…” modal.

New Features Dropdown

If a user closes the “New Features” carousel, under the Help icon they can relaunch the New Features if they need to see it a second time.

Homepage

This was my proposal for an updated dashboard. My goal was to layout the information in an easy to read format. There are widgets advertising new features, calling out what requires attention and even the ability to customize the layout to the users needs. The Insights are the analytics we were working on.
