Design Goals
Using mobile devices to manage and transfer files has become daily for most people. Therefore, we developed an App, which can connect to Avision scanners, to make Avision user scan their documents into mobile devices, and conduct digital management easier .
Goals:
1. Search and connect to Avision scanner, and automatically import the
scanner's setting.
2. Simple and intuitive operation. Users can clearly see the setting items.
3.Tag function. Users can add tags on the files, to allow them search the
files easier in Avision software.

專案心得
在執行這項專案遇到的一個問題是：當初決定製作時沒有召集到所有可能參與的部門成員。這導致後來花很多時間溝通，開發時間被拉長。甚至有些功能最初並沒有考慮到，但由於ios開發是委外製作，所以在無法改動合約的情況下，只好把部分功能留到下次的版本更新。
改善方式：在新版本開發初期集合各部門成員，在會議中確認功能和user flow。之後建立主要功能的wireframe和 Lo-fi原型，讓團隊成員對App的功能和流程有比較具體的概念，且要開會討論。至於在最後UI設計上，詳細參閱guideline，使用合理的元件，並在圖面上把互動模式和效果標註清楚，減少和工程師來回確認的時間成本。
