Key Features & Improvements

1. Two-State Vertical Sidebar Navigation

• Collapsed (Default) & Expanded Modes:
  Users can toggle between a compact collapsed sidebar and an expanded view for easier navigation.

  • Collapsed: Shows only icons; tooltips appear on hover.

  • Expanded: Shows icons and labels; dropdowns for menu items with children.

• Interaction Enhancements:

  • Hover & Submenu:

    • Tooltips display page names on hover.

    • Floating submenus for items with children (e.g., Employee Management → Employees, User Group).

    • Hover feedback with background color change.

  • Active State:

    • The active navigation item and icon are highlighted in green.

  • Expand Icon:

    • Hovering over the sidebar transforms the Swif logo into an expand icon, with a tooltip (https://zpl.io/kKYeNgZ).

2. Counter Caching for Improved Performance

• Counters for Key Pages:

  • Employee Management, Device Management, and Store now display counters (e.g., total employees, devices, new requests).

  • Performance Optimization:

    • Counters are only fetched and displayed after visiting the relevant page, reducing unnecessary API calls.

    • If the count is not cached, an ellipse placeholder is shown.

    • No extra API calls for counters unless the page is visited.

3. Menu & UI/UX Changes

• MSP Portal Relocation:

  • Removed from the main navigation; now accessible under Settings > Organization for better discoverability and reduced clutter.

• Page Header Removal:

  • The page header has been removed, providing more space for main content.

• Resources Menu Update:

  • Moved to the sidebar.

  • Only essential items are included; “Newsletter” and “Blogs” have been removed.

  • “Share feedback” is now part of Resources.

4. Change Team & Account Management

• Change Team Menu:

  • Added a “Managed Team” button redirecting to Settings > Teams.

  • Team member count is now shown below the team name.

  • Team logo initials logic:

    • If the team name has spaces, use the first letter of each word (e.g., “My Team” → MT).

    • If no spaces, use the first two letters (e.g., “Hello” → HE).

  • Menu opens on hover (collapsed) or click (expanded).

• Account Settings Improvements:

  • “Manage Account” is now accessible from the log-out menu, redirecting to Account Settings > Personal Details.

  • Personal details have been moved from Organization Settings to Account Settings for better separation.

5. Accessibility & Design Consistency

• Accessibility:

  • All tooltips are accessible via keyboard and screen readers.

• Design Consistency:

  • Padding and color adjustments for improved look and feel.

  • Collapsed and expanded states match design references.

This upgrade delivers a faster, more intuitive, and modern navigation experience for all Swif web app users.
