A new look across admin, the portal and sign-in - Product News

The admin app, the portal for applicants, assessors and verifiers, and Backed's sign-in pages now share one look. Every page, menu item, permission, filter and action is where it was, with the same name; what changes is how the screens read.

Across the admin app

• Lighter type. Headings and labels are semibold rather than heavy, and only the page title keeps the wide lettering. Tabs, labels and most buttons are in sentence case.
• Quieter edges. The heavy black rule under a page title is gone. Cards, panels and fields lose their thick top line, and cards no longer lift when you point at them.
• Tables in a frame. Lists sit inside a frame, with a shaded heading row and lighter lines between rows.
• Buttons. A page's main action keeps its full-size uppercase button. Other buttons are in sentence case, and the lightest are underlined links.
• Badges, filters and chips. Status badges are rounded and borderless. Filter pills and chips are square, and a chosen filter is filled.
• Dialogs and menus. Dialogs, drawers, menus and messages are square with a thin line; the coloured bar across the top of a dialog is gone.
• Avatars. A person's initials sit in a round avatar whose colour comes from their name, so the same person always has the same colour. Organisations keep their square logo.
• Where you are, in the top bar. The section and page you are on now show in the top bar, between the logo and search, and a record's name ends the trail: Award and pay › Assessors › Priya Nair. The line that repeated it above the page title is gone. The trail is hidden on a phone.
• Every screen matches. Settings, platform, assessment, decisions, award and pay, outcomes, reporting, rounds, applications, people, communications, the builders, your account and the Help Centre all use the same parts, so headings, figures and notes read the same size everywhere.

See Getting started as an administrator.

In the portal

• The admin app's frame. The sidebar and top bar follow your light or dark choice: white in the light theme, where they were dark. Your organisation's colours and logo show as before.
• The same parts. Applicants, assessors and verifiers see the same type, buttons, fields, tables and cards as the admin app. Section headings on milestones, the welcome steps and a shared milestone are one size, and the tables of paid payments sit in a frame.
• Your score total. When you score an application, the total shows in the large figure type Backed uses for numbers.

See Your applicant dashboard and Your assessor dashboard.

Signing in

• Lighter titles. The sign-in, join and account pages carry the same lighter titles, and the figures on the join page are plain numbers.
• Clearer choices. When you choose a role or agree to terms, the card you pick shows a mark and a coloured bar on its left edge, inside a thin frame.
• Your account. The short introduction on your account pages sits above the tabs. See Your account.

What has not changed

• Where things are. No page, menu item, permission, filter, action or guided tour moves.
• Colours. Backed's colours, and your organisation's, are the same. Both the light and the dark theme have the new look.
