# eBaw

EBaw is an online shopping and sales platform, in the form of auctions or regular sales with a fixed price, for all types of products.

# A3: User Interface Prototype

The PUI (or horizontal prototype) has the following objectives:
- draw the PUI
- identify and design requirements
- create a basis on which to support usability

This artifact includes five elements:
1. The general principles and characteristics common to all pages.
2. Sitemap
3. Interactions to illustrate the flow
4. Interfaces
5. Wireflows

## 1. Common interface and features

eBaw's general interface consists of a set of web pages built using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and the BootStrap framework.
This framework simplifies the development of fluid schemes and capable of responsively adapting to various device sizes.

## 4. Interfaces

In this section, the most important interfaces of the platform are exposed. Some of those interfaces have several sub-interfaces, in the form of separators, for instance in the case of the profile, where a customer can view his data (General and Details tab), consult his transaction history (History tab), edit his data (Edit Profile tab) and consult his notifications (Notifications tab). All of those mentioned are separate tabs on the same page. There are more examples that will be explained when the specific page presentation is inserted. All interfaces presented are prototypes of what will eventually be the final pages.

Note that some features on the platform pages change depending on whether you are an unregistered user, or a registered user or an administrator of the platform. As an example, the administrator sees in each product a button to remove the product from the platform, while a registered user that isn't its seller, on the same button, will have the functionality to make a purchase or a bid, whether in BuyItNow or Auction mode, respectively. Each page shown will specify these features in the introduction.

The navigation bar changes depending on whether you are an unregistered user or a registered user. You can view Login and Register, in one case, and in the other the username username and Logout, respectively.

In the footer we can see the same links available in the navigation bar.

### UI07: Product Page

The Product Page is accessed by clicking on the description, on the image, or on the product name. The contents of the action buttons on this page change depending on the user. That is, if the user is an administrator, there is no option to buy or bid on the product, but will only have the functionality to remove the product. The report button at the top right of the page will not be visible. The same happens in the comments section, after the product description, where the administrator will have the option to remove comments.
If the user is the seller of the product, he also won't have the option to buy or bid on his product but instead the option to edit or cancel the product.
If the user has purchased the product, or has offered the highest bid after the auction ends, the button will display Pay instead of Buy Now.

### UI10: Profile

The user profile page can be accessed by clicking on the user name or in the drop-down menu and then View Profile option, if the user has logged on.
On this page, as explained initially, five tabs are presented. The General tab with the information of the respective user, the Details tab with contact information of the user, the History tab with the information of all the commercial transactions carried out, that is, it presents past purchases and sales classified as Inactive, and Current Purchases, Auctions and BuyItNow classified as Active. Active Purchases are all that are waiting for payment, active Auctions are auctions where the user has placed a bid but the deadline has not yet expired and active BuyItNow products are in the same way the products at a fixed price that are on sale and not yet purchased. Then there is the Edit Profile tab, where the user can change his personal data, and finally the Notifications tab that contains a record of the notifications received.

### UI12: Administration

A página de Administração é acessível apenas ao(s) administrador(es). Inclui as ferramentas necessárias para o administrador fazer a gestão da plataforma. Para o efeito, temos três sub-interfaces: Denúncias, Histórico de Bans, e Adicionar Admin. O primeiro mostra os registos de denúncias ainda não resolvidas e as ações que podem ser tomadas com recurso aos botões do lado direito. O Histórico de Bans contém os registos de denuncias passadas que já foram resolvidas. Por último, em Adicionar Admin a funcionalidade de adicionar um administrador.
