The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[Tomasz Wolniewicz <twoln AT umk.pl>]

Hi Gerrard,
  thanks for you observations. Somehow playing with different windows sizes and testing on real devices I never hit this terrible layout problem, but now I managed to reproduce it without an effort.
The Digital signature info - we think this should stay. We make a very strong point about eduroam safety and having safe installers is one of the crucial elements. I think that digital signature will sound to people as something important even if they do not quite get what that means.

The two clickable elements doing the same thing - they are an overkill indeed. It is more of a space filler for larger screens I will try to hide one of the elements when there is too little space.
The footer, of course is a problem on small screens ...
Thanks again
Tomasz

Hi all,

 

Just joined the list after being advised it’s the best place for providing feedback on the (much improved) new interface being tested for CAT.

 

We’ve just launched eduroam at our organisation but currently looking at the CAT beta to make screenshots for users ready for the full launch. Trying it on my Android phone (OnePlus 6) noticed a few UI tweaks that could do with improvement. Screenshot attached for reference.

 

1)      The download button is partially covered by the footer

2)      The download button looks a bit too far down the page to be the obvious control to click on, if anything it seems “Connect your device to eduroam” which granted does do the same thing. Having two clickable elements doing the same function seems a bit superfluous?

3)      The blue section underneath the image banner is a bit too large when viewed on a smartphone and pushes the download button out the way, can it be reduced?

4)      The introduction text “Custom built for your organisation \ Digitally signed by the organisation that coordinates eduroam®: GÉANT Association” doesn’t really mean much to the end user whereas the phrase beneath “Connect your device to eduroam” is much clearer. Perhaps consider swapping that text into the banner, which would free up space for the download button to be more prominent?

 

As I say more tweaks than anything and it’s leaps and bounds ahead of the current CAT interface, which I’ve had a few users tell me looks like malware (!)

 

Regards,
