Dashboard Switching

We’ve had a couple ideas when it comes to switching between Dashboards. We’re incorporating the swipe method, gallery view and the dashboard dock. Each has it’s benefits to the user experience and feels natural.

Dashboard Dock
At the bottom of each screen you’ll have a doc. You’ll be able to name each dashboard and select an icon that best represents it. This will allow you to quickly toggle between dashboards. In the gallery screen we will allow you to reorder the order of the icons in the dock.

Gallery View
Similar to how you switch between tabs in Safari, you’ll be able to zoom out and view all of you dashboard organized into rows and columns. This too will be configurable by taping and holding until you can move the Dashboard around and put them into the order that you prefer. The rearrangement will define the order of the icons in the dashboard dock.

Swipe Method
Just like pages in a book or the home scree, you’ll be able to swipe left to right to view a different dashboard. The color changes of the title bars and background colors will provide a visual contrast and may be unpleasant. We’ll unify certain application user interface elements to insure that the visual experience is smooth and natural.
