First of all
Unipos will renew the design on April 20, 2021.
You will be able to try out the new design first starting March 25, and you can switch back to the old design until April 20.
After the renewal, you will still be able to use the existing functions.
Background of the Design Renewal
Since its launch on June 29, 2017, Unipos has been adding various functions to make the contributions of you and all workers more visible, with the vision of "Uniting people through positivity and purpose". On the other hand, there were some areas where clarity and ease of use were compromised.
We have decided to redesign Unipos to make it easier to understand and use as a foundation for delivering more functions that allow people to express their gratitude and visualize their contributions as quickly as possible.
Schedule
The schedule is as follows.
- Transition period: March 25 - April 19
- Full transition date: April 20
*Team admin and Analytics screens will switch to the new design on April 22, and we will announce the details of the changes separately around mid-April.
*The schedule is subject to change depending on the development status. If there are any changes, we will notify you again via bell notification, etc.
Scope
All Unipos users
*Users who sign up during the transition period will only be able to use the new design.
Summary of changes
1. Revised the information design of the features
- Post form for easy filling out
- Timeline for better viewing of posts
- Card for easy clapping and quoting
2. Improved Accessibility
- Adjusted color and size for easy visibility
- Added auxiliary text (tooltips) to imagine the operation results easily
