feat(portal): Enhancing User Experience for Coordinator Service and Instance Creation

As we continue to develop and refine our system, it's essential to ensure that users have a seamless and intuitive experience. In this feature, we'll focus on improving the Portal page to provide clear guidance when the Coordinator service isn't started or an instance hasn't been created. This enhancement will significantly improve user satisfaction and reduce confusion.

When the Coordinator service isn't started, users are left with a blank or uninformative page, which can be frustrating and time-consuming. Similarly, if an instance hasn't been created, users may not be aware of the necessary steps to proceed. This lack of clarity can lead to user dissatisfaction, decreased productivity, and increased support requests.

To address these issues, we propose adding a guiding prompt to the Portal page for both scenarios. This prompt will provide users with clear instructions and context, enabling them to take the necessary actions to resolve the issue.

Guiding Prompt for Coordinator Service

For the case where the Coordinator service isn't started, the guiding prompt can be designed to resemble the following layout:

Start Coordinator Service

Click here to start the Coordinator service
This will enable the creation of instances and access to the Portal page

This layout is clean, concise, and easy to understand, providing users with a clear call-to-action to start the Coordinator service.

Guiding Prompt for Instance Creation

Similarly, for the case where an instance hasn't been created, the same layout can be adopted:

Create Instance

Click here to create a new instance
This will enable access to the Portal page and allow you to manage your instances

This layout is identical to the previous one, ensuring consistency and reducing user confusion.

The addition of guiding prompts for both scenarios will have numerous benefits, including:

Improved user experience: Users will have clear guidance and instructions, reducing frustration and increasing satisfaction.
Increased productivity: Users will be able to take the necessary actions to resolve the issue, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
Reduced support requests: Users will be able to resolve issues independently, reducing the need for support requests and decreasing support costs.

To implement this feature, we'll need to:

Design the guiding prompts: Create the layout and content for the guiding prompts, ensuring consistency and clarity.
Integrate the guiding prompts: Integrate the guiding prompts into the Portal page, ensuring seamless integration with the existing UI.
Test the feature: Thoroughly test the feature to ensure it's working as expected and provides a positive user experience.

In conclusion, the addition of guiding prompts for the Coordinator service and instance creation will significantly improve the user experience, increase productivity, and reduce support requests. By providing clear guidance and instructions, we'll ensure that users have a seamless and intuitive experience, enabling them to take the necessary actions to resolve issues independently.
