While Transnetyxs' current filter, sort, and group system was useful their were some aspects of the user journey that were unclear or time consuming:
Understand how to sort data in ascending or descending format
How to group/ sort data
Time constraint finding filter choices
Establish a simple and clear filter, sort, and group system for researchers to quickly and efficiently group their research data and analyze.

Accomplishments
Accomplishments
Based on many meetings with the stakeholder I've determined that:
Created a permanent collapsible panel for easy access and more screen space
Integrated a search options for quick and efficient data discovery
Eliminated the "sort" section to minimize number of steps taken

Stakeholder points to consider:
Are checkboxes more or less time-consuming
Will taking away the asc/ desc button confuse users or make the user journey more clear
Does the permanent panel collapse automatically or is it done manually

Started design with a simple

conserve space leaving room
for other buttons or valuable
screen space for data on the

Changed design from a simple
filter button to a label "Sort &
Filter" with a plus sign. This
allows for the user journey to be
much clearer to the Sort and
filter panel. The plus sign was
added to correlate with the
minimize button when the panel
is in its open state.
Also removed the white space
between the filter panel and the
side navigation allow freeing up
screen space for the data table.
