Visit to your New Office

Nitin ,

As suggested by you last evening , I plan to visit your office on Monday ( 10 am ) to take a look at the U / I for ,

>    Blast Message - Corporate / Industry wise

     ( this will require re-naming of current link to , " Blast Message - Corporate / Industry + City wise " )

>   World - Wide - Wall

In both the cases , please ensure that the U / I , are complete with the relevant PAGE WRITE-UPS

It is important to take a look from the view point of a casual visitor and then ask :

>   Does the page write up CLEARLY explain , what a Visitor is supposed to " Select "  ? and in what sequence ?

>  After each selection , a message must flash , telling him to wait for the page to refresh , before making the next selection

(  at present , absence of such a warning , makes me select the next criteria immediately ! I get confused ! )

AND

>  When he selects those " Search Criteria " ( in the prescribed sequence ) , what Results , can he expect to see ?

>  Upon seeing those results , what is he supposed to do ? ( viz : click the BLAST button )

As far as World - Wide - Wall , is concerned , the very first criteria to be selected , will be ,

>   TYPE OF MESSAGE ( from the drop list )

Once this has been selected , many visitors / subscribers would like to see ALL the messages ( of the TYPE selected ) , from ALL the Countries

So , for the next droplist of " COUNTRY ",  if option " ALL " is selected , then obviously , there will  no question / option for selecting any COMPANY NAME

Eg :

•   Amitabh Kant ( DIPP ) would want to see " Inviting INDIAN COMPANIES for Technical Collaboration / Joint Venture " messages coming in from all the companies from all the countries

    For him , the " TYPE " of message is most important

Similarly , an Indian Exporter , would want to see " We want to buy from India " type of messages from all the companies from all the countries

Only in those cases , where a visitor selects a particular " Country " ( and not ALL ) , would " Company Name " drop list should appear

NEXT :

As soon as any visitor arrives on this page , what will he SEE , even before he selects anything ?

I think , I have earlier suggested showing him ALL the " composed / saved and approved " messages , in reverse chronological order , starting with the latest . Each to stay on the screen , till he clicks the " PREVIOUS " or " NEXT " button
