Final Design
1. There’s a feature called Schedule Call (CTA) where users can plan their calls with clients.
2. The list of calls for today is placed prominently above the Schedule Call section, making it easy for users to see how many calls they have scheduled for the day. If they add a new call, it updates in real-time.
3. Users can easily switch between viewing their calls for the day, week, month, or year. Arrows are provided to navigate between months when in monthly mode or to move to different time periods in other modes.
4. When users land on this screen, they can quickly see all their scheduled calls.
5. To differentiate between calls from different groups and individual users, a filter is provided on the left side. Users can check or uncheck the boxes to show or hide meetings from specific groups or users.
6. There’s also an option to create new groups by clicking on the plus icon in the group section. Users simply need to add a title for the group and specify the number of guests.
1. When you click on “Schedule Call” (CTA), a pop-up window appears.
2. In this window, you can enter the event name, select the date, choose a suitable time, and write the agenda for the meeting.
3. Additionally, when you specify the number of participants, you have the option to either select existing groups to include the event in that group or search for individual users you want to invite to the call.
4. Finally, there’s a “Save” button to confirm and save your scheduled call.
