Changes made after Heuristic Evaluation
- Improved consistency accross dialogs: based on a somewhat misguided guideline, we had implemented the 'Cancel' action some actions of our dialogs using an hyperlink, and the hyperlinks (e.g., 'Cancel'), and uthers using buttons (e.g., 'Save' action as a button). Our users complained, and we got rid of the links and adopted buttons for all dialog actions.
- Combined similar actions: our users complained that the interface had similar actions (e.g., 'Create assignment' vs. 'Create multiple assignments') and that added some confusion, so we unified them ('Add asignments').
