Bug ID: 156631
Summary: UI- Revising Template Library to include subcategories
& min. template requirement
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI

Description:
The following feature has been proposed as a Possible UX Eval as a response to
Linux community member in this video starting at 10:20-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4laywFgYRFI&t=817s.
This video has been presented within the last year & the comments as well as
bugzilla don't show a real urgency for this feature to be implemented. I do see
that it can be improved and here are the following notes for possible UI
improvement.
The Built In Templates available contains issues according to the ux evaluation
guide that is available here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Principles.
1) UX- Efficiency-
Users looking for any Calc or Draw templates are limited to one or less
templates and thus are required to perform an extra step in order to obtain any
sort of spreadsheet template or users looking for more variety.
2) UX- Consistency-
(a.) creating a minimum number of 2 or more available templates allow for users
to have a choice of picking a template. Competitor suites such as Google Suite
have a minimum of 2 templates for each category.
(b.) creating sub categories (i.e. business, school, personal) to promote user
efficiency rather than reading each template title.
3) UX- Discovery-
During the video, there is no mention of the Help or Extensions sections
located at the bottom left. I wonder how many times these features are missed?
Might be redundant but I would propose add a button to lead user's to the
extensions page inside the templates selection.
Suggestions:
I propose an enhancement for the templates library: introducing subcategories
that describe the template's industry or primary use. Additionally, to ensure
compliance with industry standards and provide users with more options, each
subcategory should offer a minimum of two templates, this might be pulled from
available templates on the extension. Finally, creating a button to lead to
extensions section inside the template section.
