Design Considerations

This project is about reducing the implementation time and cost and lowering the barriers of adoption of Openbravo. Because of that, the user experience if of paramount importance. It must very easy for a user not having technical or system implementation skills and having very little knowledge of Openbravo to select and deploy an industry template.

Dependencies

None.

User roles & profiles

The user roles affected by this functionality are:

Non-professional Functional Administrator

Typically a small business owner or trusted employee at a small business that is tasked with configuring the system to meet the requirements of the business. These users are typically computer-literate and very familiar with desktop applications and consumer web sites but does not have a formal education in computer science; they are therefore expecting a user experience comparable to the one of a consumer-grade application. They are very knowledgeable about the way their business work but are not familiar with ERPs and have never participated in a complex IT or formal business process re-engineering project.

Business process definition

1. Users connect to an Openbravo instance with a guest user which has access to a role that only allows to initiate an initial client setup with industry template action.
2. Users can choose to either browse a catalog of industry templates or to instantiate a client from a template they previously downloaded
3. Users can initiate the client creation process using the selected industry template and specifying the organization specific data
4. Optionally, an instance administrator approves the client creation (this task might include payment verification)
5. The system instantiates the client, applies the template
6. Users receive a notification with the login instructions

User Interface Mockups

TBD

Performance
