Proposed Dashboard Redesign

In response to the GAP survey of May 4, 2021, I proposed a redesign of the FTDNA account dashboard using contextualized access to account settings.

The proposal illustrated in the graphic is to replace the single myFamilyTree Tool widget box with a Family History Tools widget box and provide one click contextualized access to modify account settings. Through the Account Settings menu, settings are two, sometimes three clicks away.

Similar modifications can be made for the Y-DNA and MtDNA tools widget boxes.

FTDNA is interested in populating its haplotrees and the Tree of Womankind with pedigrees and geographic data. To get testers to provide that data, it needs to make account settings more accessible.
