✅ What’s Good:

Scalable Dashboard Design:

Layouts handle dense institutional data well without overwhelming the user. The grid layout and card design create clarity across modules.

Modular & Consistent UI Components:

Use of consistent card styles, section headers, and navigation across modules promotes familiarity and reduces cognitive load.

Role-Aware Navigation:

The sidebar menu supports a wide range of administrative and academic functions, catering to different user roles logically.

Accessible Font Controls:

Providing font resizing (A- / A / A+) on the academic view supports accessibility—great inclusion for older users or those with vision difficulties.

Color-Coded Status Indicators:

Use of color (e.g., green for "submitted", red for "not submitted") improves quick scanning and decision-making.

Responsive Design Orientation:

The clean layout, button sizing, and spacing indicate the design is well-prepared for mobile or tablet responsiveness.

🛠 What Can Be Improved:

Visual Hierarchy in Sidebar:

The sidebar could benefit from clearer grouping using headings or collapsible sections to reduce visual fatigue in modules with many options.

Primary Action Highlighting:

Buttons like "View" in cards are small and low-contrast. Primary actions could be more prominent to drive interaction.

Too Many Similar Labels:

Repetition of terms like “Dashboard” and “Settings” across cards/modules can confuse users. Consider clearer context-specific labels (e.g., “Leave Dashboard” → “Leave Summary”).

Whitespace Optimization:

Some elements (like the “Visit Leave” or “Paid” sections) feel sparsely used or unbalanced—there’s an opportunity to tighten space or realign content blocks.

Missing Tooltips or Descriptions:

For modules like “Commuted Leave” or “Station Leaves,” new users might not understand what they do. Consider adding brief tooltips or help icons.

Notification or Alert Feedback:

It’s unclear how system alerts (e.g., submission errors, success messages) are handled. This is critical for trust and task completion.

Redundant UI Elements:

"View" buttons inside each card could be replaced with entire card clickability or more actionable phrasing (e.g., “Open,” “See Details”).
