Streamlining Filament Navigation: Enhancing User Experience

Overview

This update focuses on improving the user experience within the Filament admin panel by reorganizing the navigation structure. Specifically, resources related to support and feedback have been relocated to a dedicated 'Support' navigation group.

Motivation

The primary goal is to declutter the 'System' navigation group. By moving support-related resources to their own group, the navigation becomes more intuitive and easier to manage. This change aligns with the principle of grouping related functionalities for better discoverability.

Implementation

The following resources have been moved from the 'System' to the 'Support' navigation group:

  • ContactResource.php
  • FeedbackResource.php
  • PostReportResource.php
  • ProjectReportResource.php
  • WaitlistSubscriberResource.php

This was achieved by updating the getNavigationGroup() method in each resource class. For example, in ContactResource.php:

    public static function getNavigationGroup(): ?string
    {
-        return __('filament.navigation.groups.system');
+        return __('filament.navigation.groups.support');
    }

Similar changes were applied to the other affected resource files.

Benefits

  • Improved Navigation: Users can now find support-related resources in a single, dedicated location.
  • Reduced Clutter: The 'System' navigation group is now less crowded, making it easier to find other system-level resources.
  • Enhanced User Experience: The reorganized navigation contributes to a more intuitive and efficient user experience within the Filament admin panel.
