Search Button Consistency

Product Suggestion

Introduce consistent button ordering and layout across comparable search pages within Accord, particularly within Contract Search, Supplier Search, and similar data-driven areas of the platform.

Standardising the placement of common actions such as:

• Filter

• Export to Excel

• Add New

• Reset/Search

…would create a more predictable and user-friendly experience across the system.

Problem Statement

Currently, action buttons are not always displayed in the same order across similar search screens.

For example:

• On the Contract Search page, “Export to Excel” appears before “Filter”

• On the Supplier Search page, “Filter” appears before “Export to Excel”

This inconsistency can make the interface feel less intuitive and may slow users down as they adjust between different sections of the platform.

Suggested Improvement

Standardise the positioning and ordering of common action buttons across comparable search pages and grids throughout Accord.

This could include:

• Consistent button order

• Standardised alignment and spacing

• Shared UI patterns across search screens

• Alignment with wider platform design standards

Potential Benefits

• More consistent user experience

• Easier navigation across different modules

• Reduced user confusion and hesitation

• Faster interaction with common actions

• Cleaner and more predictable interface design

• Improved usability for frequent system users
