A user-friendly search feature for insurance company contacts was implemented. The search feature includes a refresh button and a badge to display the number of search results, enhancing user interaction. It also features a dropdown box for quick access to child records and applies progressive lookup, triggering searches after entering more than two characters.
A contact management feature allows for the deactivation of contacts. This feature maintains data integrity by allowing inactive records to be reactivated while keeping them visible. It uses service-side group breaks to categorize contacts as active or inactive, ensuring a streamlined user experience.
UI design emphasizes minimalism and clarity. The design minimizes button usage and employs clear color coding for status indicators. Decisions were made to standardize the display of contact counts and to minimize color usage while highlighting critical information.
Soft delete functionality is utilized for better data management. Soft delete allows for hiding records instead of permanent deletion, facilitating easy recovery of mistakenly deleted records. This approach prioritizes user experience by minimizing unnecessary data visibility.
