Layer 1 Resident Dashbaord > Organize Favorites by Content Type

[chrissantillan]

User Story:

As a Resident, I want my favorites automatically grouped into predefined categories (Libraries, Videos, and Helpful Links), so that I can better manage my saved content without additional effort.

Description:

This issue introduces a stopgap solution for organizing favorites by automatically grouping them by content type on the Resident Dashboard:

• Libraries
• Videos
• Helpful Links

The groups are determined by the type of the favorite and require no input from the resident.

The favorites section in the resident dashboard will display the three categories, with each favorite listed under its appropriate group.

Tasks:

• Update the Resident dashboard’s Favorites section to display the three predefined collections:
  • Libraries
  • Videos
  • Helpful Links
• Implement collapsible sections for each category to improve usability.
• Add icons to distinguish collections (optional).

User Flow:

1. Resident Views Favorites Section:
   • Resident logs into UnlockEd and navigates to their Favorites section.
2. View Predefined Categories:
   • Favorites are displayed in three predefined categories: Libraries, Videos, and Helpful Links.
   • Each category contains the appropriate favorited items.
3. Expand/Collapse Categories:
   • Resident can expand or collapse categories to focus on specific types of content.

Resulting My Learning (Dashboard) would look similar to this:

Acceptance Criteria:

• Backend:
  • All favorites are automatically categorized into one of the three predefined groups (Libraries, Videos, Helpful Links).
• Frontend:
  • The Favorites section displays the three collections: Libraries, Videos, Helpful Links.
  • Each grouping lists the appropriate favorites grouped together. Favorites are arranged by date with each group.
• User Experience:
  • Residents can easily find and view their favorites organized into the three predefined groups.
  • No manual input is required for this categorization.

Technical Considerations

• Predefined Collections Only:
  • This implementation does not support adding custom collections or assigning favorites to multiple collections.
• Future Scalability:
  • This should serve as a foundation for adding custom categories or more advanced organizational features in the future.
