Hi, there are currently four ways to log into Alloy related websites -
The Alloy web platform itself
The Yotta Support Centre
The Alloy Ideas Portal
The Alloy Community Site (haven't signed up to this yet)
It would be great if the user login details used on the Alloy platform could be shared across all sites to avoid the need to have separate accounts, although I appreciate that might not be practical and use different databases etc.
What would be cool would be if there were icon buttons that linked to those other sites on the right hand toolbar in Alloy Web, just above or below where the bell icon and help page icon are - so users when they think of an idea or want to go to the help desk or community pages can click to go straight there.
Hi there, thanks for the idea. We'd love to make this easier for users to switch between Alloy and it's resources. At the moment we use separate applications to provide these services so we're not always in control of the single sign-on options available. We'll keep working on this.
Thank you for the response, I thought it might be the case that the different resources were in separate places so I understand that it may not be possible to unify the accounts.
I think the idea for icons on the toolbar might still have potential though. I've attached a mock-up of the toolbar to show what it might look like if it had links for the support desk (the icon is supposed to look like a persons head with a headset on), the ideas portal (that's supposed to be a lightbulb) and the community forum (a speech bubble).
The reasoning behind that is that most users will tend to think of ideas, issues or something they would like to discuss with other users when using the Alloy software, so putting quick links on the toolbar could speed up the process of connecting to the right resource. There is some free space there that could be used above the help page icon and the alert icon.
Please don't let my poor graphic design skills put you off!
