1. Problem

Allow users to change the layout of content modules, for example portlets within a portal environment.

• Move location of content modules within a layout
• Constrain "locked" content modules from being moved

2. Users

Fluid Personas are a collection of various types of important users whose needs we need to consider throughout the design process.

3. Users' needs

Contexts of Use: In what contexts would the user need a Date Pickerto reorder portlets/boxes? What activities do they undertake in the these contexts?

Functional Requirements: What use cases does the Date Picker Layout Reorderer component support?

Primary & Secondary Scenarios: In context, what are the primary and secondary user needs are we meeting?

4. Solution

Wireframes: Visual representation of design iterations and final designs.

Storyboards: How, when, and where would the user use a Layout Reorderer?

Drag and Drop - Layout Preview Design Pattern: Design advice for previewing the page layout while doing drag and drop.

5. User Testing

Layout Reorderer User Testing: Summary of all user testing performed on the Layout Reorderer component.

User Testing Protocols: Describes how the user testing of Layout Reorderer will be carried out.

• Layout Reorderer User Testing - Round 1
• Layout Reorderer User Testing - Round 2
• Layout Reorderer User Testing - Round 3
• Layout Reorderer User Testing - Round 4

User Testing Results: Describes how the users interacted with the Layout Reorderer prototype and what improvements can be made.

• Layout Reorderer User Testing - Round 1 Results
• Layout Reorderer User Testing - Round 2 Results
• Layout Reorderer User Testing - Round 3 Results
