Components
InvoicePlane, a web-based, self-hosted open source application which business managers can use to manage all critical aspects of the firm in terms of invoice generation and transfer to clients, client billing notification, payments verification and so much more.
Due to the critical nature of its operation and importance to the smooth running of any business enduser, it needs a better designed, more user-friendly dashboard menu with well labeled menu buttons.
Proposal
A dashboard menu with well labeled icons will make the app layout more appealing to the eyes, the app buttons more recognizable and their intended functions fully understood at first glance and easier to use as well.
This will enable the users, especially new clients to save valuable time as they will be able to execute each invoicing task in less time and with less stress.
