Enhancements to Vessel Base Data for additional Vessel Settings #1681
Comments
But if this causes confusion I am open to improvements.
Strictly speaking none of the information on the vessel base data screen is required for the server to function. Is this a must step for everybody? If so why? Many services have ways to get people onboard as quickly as possible (in SK that would be configuring connections) and then prompt to fill out more details "to unlock full potential" (add, name, dimensions, photos etc).

Vessel Base Data page is where you enter the details of your vessel. I think there are a few ways to improve the user experience for this and capture a bit more additional information.
Server -> Settings
but the name of the page isVessel Base Data
. This is not super intuitive, many non-technical users fail to find this on their own. I think there is an opportunity here to maybe call thisVessel Settings
and consider moving it to the top level navigation (not super opinionated about moving it to the top though I think making it more visible will help). Also the page title should ideally match the navigation option.Ship Type
and it is populated from AIS ship types. This is not super helpful as it is fairly restrictive. There could be more options here beyond what is available in AIS ship types (like catamaran, trimaran, maybe things like trawler etc.) Also this field's name should match the main title, e.g. it probably should be calledVessel Type
instead ofShip Type
.Number of Engines
(or alternatively a more specific option aroundDual Engines
andNumber of Generators
. While these could be identified by sensors if present, the base setting would be helpful.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
