What this screen helps with

The research notebook screen supports “New entry” while keeping notebook and entries in view. It should show the current state even when data is missing or access is restricted.

What to look for

  • Primary action: New entry
  • Main area: Notebook brings the user to the relevant workflow
  • Related area: Entries keeps nearby context accessible
  • Entries: 284 in the sample screen
  • This week: 22 in the sample screen
  • Example 1: Experiment observations
  • Example 2: Protocol deviation note
  • Input: Notebook

States to consider

  • Default: Show the main workflow and its available next step
  • Loading: Disable duplicate submits while keeping entered values visible
  • Empty: Show required inputs and help people start without a blank form
  • Error: Keep filled fields and identify the exact problem to fix
  • Access: Show which actions require a role or permission
  • Success: Confirm the result after New entry and say what happens next

Where it fits

Notebook → Entries → New entry → Review result

UX choices to review

State input requirements before the user submits the form

In this example, Experiment observations is one of the records worth checking. Keep the sample data clearly separate from a live system.

Keep progress and entered values when people move between steps

Show clear permission, validation, and recovery states near the affected control
