The approvals column and its 20rem right rail: what needs a decision, forecast, meetings and tasks.

What it's for#

Home answers one question when someone opens Oration in the morning: what needs me today. Decisions agents are waiting on come first; the day's numbers and meetings sit beside them.

It is a document page with a two-column grid. The left column is a queue of proposals from agents, each one an approval with its reasoning. The right rail is glanceable: the quarter's forecast against target, today's meetings and today's tasks. Nothing on Home is a dashboard of metrics for their own sake; every card leads to something to do.

  • Northwind Freight asked for 3-year pricing with the vendor portal before Friday's review.

    To Jordan LeeRe: Pricing for 22k invoices a month

    Hi Jordan, Here's the 3-year option with the vendor portal as its own line. Year one is $186,000 and years two and three hold flat. Would 20 minutes on Wednesday help before Friday? Maya

    Reasoning: Jordan asked two direct questions. The draft answers both, links the updated order form and proposes a 20-minute walkthrough on Oct 1.

Home builds its approval cards by hand rather than with Approval card, so the collapsed rows can share one expanded body and the queue can move with J and K. The composition here draws the same card from Canon parts. Use Approval card anywhere a single proposal stands alone.

Anatomy#

Nine parts. The left column is for deciding, the rail for glancing.

  1. App header. Crumbs read Home. The one header action is an outline Ask an agent button, so the filled button stays with the approvals.
  2. Greeting. The only place Display (600, 24px, -0.02em) is used. The summary line under it counts decisions and meetings in plain words.
  3. Needs your call. A Title heading with the count in tabular figures, and the J, K, A and S hint in Kbd from 768px.
  4. Expanded approval. The active card lifts to the hover shadow and opens its body: summary, the email or field change in a tint well, credits, reasoning and actions. It holds the view's only filled button.
  5. Collapsed approvals. Agent, role, time, title and a one-line summary. Clicking or pressing J and K makes one active; only one is open at a time.
  6. Forecast. A Meter of closed won, commit and best case in Ink 80, 45 and 15, with a 2px target marker and a Footnote label under it, then a legend and the gap to target.
  7. Today's meetings. Time in a 56px tabular column, title and length. Rows fill Well Gray on hover and reveal a join icon.
  8. Due today. Up to five tasks with a Checkbox. Completing one strikes it through and offers Undo.
  9. Since yesterday. A Timeline of what changed overnight, under the approvals from 1024px.

Measurements#

Home is a document page, so the column, gutters and padding are the document page's. These are the parts it adds.

Responsive behavior#

Below 1024px the rail moves above the approvals and sits two-up from 768px. The source order never changes, only the grid placement.

Good morning, Maya

Monday, September 28. 4 decisions waiting and 3 meetings on your calendar.

Needs your call4

  • Northwind Freight asked for 3-year pricing with the vendor portal before Friday's review.

    To Jordan LeeRe: Pricing for 22k invoices a month

    Hi Jordan, Here's the 3-year option with the vendor portal as its own line. Year one is $186,000 and years two and three hold flat. Would 20 minutes on Wednesday help before Friday? Maya

    Reasoning: Jordan asked two direct questions. The draft answers both, links the updated order form and proposes a 20-minute walkthrough on Oct 1.

Due today

All tasks
  • Send 3-year pricing to JordanToday
  • Review Q4 commit with PriyaToday
  • Confirm the signer at Orchard StreetToday

From 1024px the rail moves to a 20rem right column, 32px from the approvals, with 16px between its cards. Due tasks join it under the meetings.

Home at each width
WidthWhat changes
390pxOne column: forecast, meetings, approvals, due tasks, then the timeline. The key hint is hidden. The expanded body loses its indent.
768pxThe forecast and meetings sit two-up above the approvals (md:grid-cols-2).
1024pxTwo columns. The rail is 20rem on the right, with due tasks under the meetings, and the timeline moves under the approvals.
1440pxThe 72rem column centers and stops growing. The rail stays 20rem.

States#

Each region owns its states. An empty queue is good news and says so.

States by region
RegionStates it owns
GreetingCounts change with the queue. With nothing waiting it says No decisions waiting.
Needs your callActive and collapsed cards, editing a draft, approved and skipped (with Undo in the toast), and empty: You're all caught up, in Empty.
ForecastBelow target, at target and over target; the target label flips to the left of its marker past 85%.
Today's meetingsA row per meeting with its time and length; hover reveals the join icon. No empty state yet.
Due todayOpen, and done with a strike-through and an Undo toast.

Home reads its data synchronously, so none of its regions draw a loading or error state today, and the meetings and tasks cards have no empty state. Canon's data states pattern asks each card for all three. Add them with Data state when the cards read from a query.

Keyboard#

Home is built to clear the queue without a mouse. The keys are single letters, ignored while typing or while a menu or dialog is open.

Keyboard interactions

JMake the next approval active.
KMake the previous approval active.
AApprove the active proposal.
SSkip the active proposal.
EEdit the draft, when the proposal has one.
  • In the product the keys listen on window. In the composition above they listen on the frame, so click inside it first.
  • J and K don't animate the move. Keyboard-driven changes are instant; see Keyboard.

Rules that apply#

The One Filled Button Rule

Each view has at most one filled indigo button, the action the view exists for. Everything else is outline, secondary, ghost, link or a destructive tint. In a stack of proposals, only the expanded one shows its filled button.

The Ink Fill Rule

Magnitudes are drawn in ink steps (80, 65, 45, 25, 15) on a Well Gray track: meters, progress, the stage track, ICP bars and the forecast bar. A fill turns semantic only when the value is itself a verdict, such as a strong ICP fit in Ledger Green. It is never indigo.

The Tint Well Rule

Inside a card, a sub-region is a Well Gray tint at 70% with a 10px radius, never a second bordered or shadowed card. No card is ever nested in a card.

The Tabular Figures Rule

Every number that changes or gets compared (amounts, counts, percentages, times, credits) is set in tabular figures, and numeric columns align right.

Do and don't#

Move Orchard Street to CommitApproveSkip
Enrich 140 accounts
Do. Show the filled Approve button only in the expanded card. Collapsed cards show nothing to press.
Move Orchard Street to CommitApprove
Enrich 140 accountsApprove
Don't. Give every card in the stack its own filled button. Five indigo buttons and none is the next step.
Target $1.8M
Do. Draw the forecast in ink steps on a Well Gray track, with the target as a marker and a label.
Don't. Color the forecast segments green, amber and indigo. Magnitudes are ink; color is for verdicts.
Do. Keep the rail first in the source and move it with grid placement, so the reading order is the same at every width.
Don't. Render the rail twice, once above for phones and once beside for desktop, and hide one. Screen readers and tab order meet it twice.
