New CHAT Functionality

1. Why the change?

1. Chat user (Feedback Provider or Reviewee) did not had option to choose a manager

With the old implementation, we considered the user that is assigning the Review/Feedback to be the Manager. But, later it was implemented that a Reviewee/Feedback Provider can be managed by multiple managers

Eg:-

a.

 Manager1 --> Manager2 --> Manager3 (Manager3 reports to Manager2 and Manager2 reports to Manager1 )

b.

 Manager3 --> Reviewee1  (Reports to Manager3)
 Manager3 --> FeedbackProvider1  (Reports to Manager3)
 Manager3 --> FeedbackProvider2  (Reports to Manager3)
 Manager3 --> FeedbackProvider3  (Reports to Manager3)

With the above hierarchy, Manager1, Manager2 and Manager3 must be capable to chat with Reviewee1, FeedbackProvider1, FeedbackProvider2, FeedbackProvider3 and vice versa. But there was no option to do so.

2. Complexity of Feedback Providers CHAT UI for managers

Eg:-

There are two problems with the above UI:

 a. All the Feedback users are loaded at a time that may have performance issue which increases exponentially as per the number of Feedback Providers.
 b. If the manager wants to communicate with the last Feedback Provider, he/she has to click scroll to the last and get the user for CHAT.

2. New changes

1. Users won't be visible in the CHAT list until they are added. Initial view of the chat when no user is added:

There are two ways how a users is added to the list:

a. Selecting an user from Add User menu popup. Following is the CHAT popup for Manager3 :

b. When a user receives a CHAT for the first time. Following is the CHAT popup for Reviewee1 :

2. When a user receives a CHAT, while he's busy with other user. The chat user is highlighted in bold and appears in the top of the list. And this highlight is maintained even when CHAT popup is re-opened, until the message is read
