This document provides specifications for a Matrix page that provides a high-level overview of vehicle data and performance across different sources and stages of a workflow system. The page includes a vehicle source drilldown displaying summaries for each source, and a stage summary view showing metrics for all sources by stage. It defines the required components, screenshots of the design, and additional details for implementation.
1. Matrix Page Specification Template
MIMS Matrix
Matrix Page God View Specification
Overview
This page is primarily dedicated to Mota operations. It is the launch pad for
investigations into the performance of MIMS, and a bird’s eye view into the world of our
Vehicle Sources.
This page must satisfy the following goals:
· Drill down to secondary levels – the Vehicle Source by Fleet page
· Provide access to unique (one off) VINs
· Show up-to-the-minute results of every vehicle according to Vehicle Source ID,
which includes summaries.
· Allow users to upload a new fleet

VehicleSource By Fleet Drilldown
The primary purpose is to catch a glimpse of how each Vehicle Source ID is
progressing through the workflow system. Various high-level points of interest are
highlighted underneath respective vehicle sources. This module is placed on the left
side of the screen and is the primary index for navigating out of this page. Navigation is
by VehicleSource (repeated vertically).

Stage Summary God View
This is the content area that actually provides users with an up-to-the-minute snapshot
of all activity from every source in the MIMS system. It’s consolidated by stage level,
and further indexed along three lines: total number of VINs present in that stage,
amount processed without error, and those with errors.
It is on the right side of the screen, and is the primary index for summarizing all
VehicleSources by workflow stage.

Additional Requirements
Mota has plans for 5 stages in our business process. Currently, only 3 stages are
implemented. Initial implantation should hide the incomplete 4th and 5th stages. When
those are completed, they should “automatically” show up in this god view.
Issues
Issues
1. The most efficient use of this page (in terms of solving errors) on any given fleet, per
stage, is some sort of aggregate ‘error view’ page, whereby errors – regardless of
workflow step – are displayed on one screen for users to edit. MIMS does not currently
support this requirement, but should allow for this functionality in future iterations.
Future Features
Future Features
1. Notice the second column from the left on the mock-up. This area is designed to
provide users with an iconic system of alerts and notifications (system and user
generated notifications). While no specification exists now, plan for this type of
expansion in the future.
2. On the table is where this page sits in the overall IA flow. Current assumptions: this is
the first page any Mota operations officer will view, which means this is the page that
pops up after login.

Matrix Page Fleet View (Stage 1) Specification
Overview
The Fleet View page is the next ‘step’ in the design flow. Users have the opportunity to
see MIMS step performance on a fleet-by-fleet basis. Steps are separated by stage,
and are presented horizontally.
This page must satisfy the following goals:
· Display all fleets
· Provide access to unique (one off) VINs
· Allow users to upload a new fleet
· Show up-to-the-minute results of every vehicle according to sales group name
· Expand and hide fleet-specific data

Here is the hierarchy of the Page Components on this page:
· Vehicle Fleet by Source ID drilldown
· Baseline Fleet data
· Step Summary, separated by Stage
· Stage separator
Here is a picture of the page components:
Vehicle Fleet By Source Drilldown
Users should be able to view all fleet activity one Source ID at a time. Presented is a
step-by-step summary of all activity within any given stage. Next to each fleet is an
expand/collapse button that displays some baseline information pertinent to that fleet.
This module is placed on the left side of the screen; it will describe fleet performance,
and give Mota operations a detailed view of all fleet activity in MIMS.

For now, the system will list all fleets available,
with the most current sales group on the top.
Future iterations can hide ‘old’ fleets. However,
further user experience research should to be
done to justify the parameters.

Stage Summary Fleet View
This is the content area that provides users with an up-to-the-minute snapshot of all
activity from every fleet according to Vehicle Source in MIMS system. It’s displayed
according to steps level, and separated by stage. It scrolls horizontally through the
stages. Please note that the fleet content bucket does not scroll. This is to provide users
with the maximum amount of context when viewing the steps.
It is on the right side of the screen, and is the primary index for summarizing all
VehicleSources by workflow stage.

Issues
Issues
1. It is still unclear as to how we will display vehicles.
a. How do we account for vehicle attrition?
b. What about vehicles with multiple statuses per step?
2. There is no method to track total errors and then link to them on one page.
Future Features
Future Features
1. A robust error notifications system with complementing web architecture to:
a. Solve specific problems/tasks
b. Move back and forth between pages after resolving issues.
2. UI solution to handle, track, group, and sort FSBO vehicles.
