Improved look and feel

Optimized for larger screens


"Why isn't VOGSY using more screen space when I use it on a larger screen?"

We listened to your feedback and improved the UI so it makes optimal use of the available space on your screen.
The feed has a dynamic grid which shows multiple columns when there is enough space.


On laptop

On mobile phone
Tip: To use maximum screen space, you can hide the menu on the left side!

New search

The search is improved and matches the UI-patterns of Google. This makes searching organisations, projects or opportunities much more easy!

Search on mobile
On a larger screen, the search field is always displayed in the header of the screen. When the search field is tapped, you can start searching by typing a keyword. By default the results contain all entities (persons, organisations, opportunities and projects), but if you're looking for an organisation, you can tap on the tile 'Organisations' and search only in organisations.
Please note that the keywords are saved and can be used again by tapping on them in section 'Recent'!
Search on laptop

Looking for a list of all your organisations or projects? Just tap on a tile without searching and you'll see the complete list. 

On the right side of the screen you can filter search results.

What's new?

Information added to 'Planning projects'

Make planning of your projects more easy by adding project information which gives you instant insight in the progress of projects and shows if the planning is on track. Also you can see the actual hours and the completion. With this information you'll get the right context to plan projects.

Improvements 'Planning Resources'

Three major improves will make planning of resources a lot easier and more efficient.

1. View totals in 'Planning Resources'

To get an actual view of the overall availability of resources visualized in time, it's possible to see the totals of working hours, planned hours and available hours. These totals can be turned on and off with the settings wheel.

View totals

2. See if resources are on track

Are hours spent as planned? The answer on this question is an important indication of the probability that the project wil be finished in time. Now it's possible to get insight in the actual hours vs planned hours by adding these columns to the view of 'Planning Resources'.

3. Planning Resources: Change planned hours

No need to navigate to the project to change the planning. Just tap on a cell to change the planned hours.

Project planning

The visualization of the project planning when accessed from the project card is improved. The biggest issue was the poor navigation and visualization. This is solved by starting function 'Planning projects', filtered by the project from which the planning is accessed. To get a complete view, deliverables are automatically collapsed.

My planning

Just like the project planning (as described above), the visualization and navigation of 'My planning' caused friction because its poor UI. This is solved by starting 'Planning Resources' filtered by the current employee which makes navigating thru time and changing planned hours (by tapping on cells) much easier.
