Workplace - Forms

Meta

An added competitive feature to Facebook's Workplace platform that allows users to generate and share a variety for forms (surveys, documents, etc.) with recursive logic.

OVERVIEW

Workplace is a web and mobile communication platform developed by Facebook.  With it you can communicate, collaborate and connect across desktop and mobile, using familiar features like groups, chat and video calls.​ Currently Workplace is being used by tens of thousands of companies, some as large as Walmart.​ I am currently working on some new features to round out the offering so it will stand on more equal footing with the likes of Google and Microsoft.  One feature is forms, or the ability for any user to create a form or survey, distribute it, and gather responses

PROBLEM

Alleviate the burden on engineering to be solely responsible for building various forms in Enterprise Engineering pillar.

RESPONSIBILITIES

REQUIREMENTS

PROJECT PROFILE

FORM CREATION

FORM CREATION

The creation flow starts with a modular UI system for adding and defining form components (Pages, sections, and questions).

RULE CREATION

RULE CREATION

Once the user defines all the questions and structure of the form, they can optionally setup up rules to control the flow of the form. For example, they may want to only show question 3 if question 2 was answered in a certain way.

This was probably the most difficult design challenge of the project due to it's complexity in logic. The were requirements to support multiple rules per question, and within each rule, the ability to nest rules. It quickly biomes challenging to allow a user to have this much control while also communicating the rule structure to them in a clear and understandable way.
