Education Tile Changes Aug 2020 - Discussion on change

Rob Wild

We've just received an update for some of the NXT tiles, and in particular, the Education Tile. 


Previously, it was a grid with columns that were selectable, now it is a weird dropdown field. 


I'm getting a lot of negative feedback internally on this, as the grid view was preferred, as everyone had all the information that they wanted on one screen, now they have to select and expand tiles just to see basic information. 


I know that my organisation (Flinders University in Australia) would very much like to have this changed back to the previous view - although I'm curious as to how others perceive this change?

I actually think it is great and plan on sharing with my Development team tomorrow, however I do not use RE NXT very often so it will be interesting to see how they feel.  Thank for the heads up!

We don't have the education tab, but I am getting negative feedback also about the way the notes, actions and opportunity tiles look now.  People really enjoyed seeing a quick view of the action note text without even having to click on each action to expand it a little.  I realize that you can see the summary but seeing the note text at a glance was nice. It's tough for fundraisers to adjust what they are looking for when they get really used to things one way.  I realize there may be bigger reasons this change was made and that NXT is a constant work in progress, but I just want to put it out there that people are really getting accustomed to the way things look and those kinds of changes can really disrupt the work flow for people.
