Increased Visibility of Temporary Closures (Mobile)

The design enhancements for displaying temporary closures on the mobile interface aim to provide clear and immediate visibility of closure dates. Here's how the visibility has been improved:

1. Red Calendar Icons and Text:

• Indication of Temporary Closures:

  • Red calendar icons with a red 'X' mark the days when the charity will be temporarily closed.

  • Additional red text states "You are marked as temporarily closed," providing a clear visual cue.

2. Manage Closed Dates Modal:

• Clear Separation of Sections:

  • The modal clearly separates the "Upcoming" and "Past" close dates, allowing users to easily navigate between current and historical data.

  • Users can add multiple dates at a time through the "Select dates" button.

3. Past Close Dates Visibility:

• Access to Historical Data:

  • The "Past" section allows users to view previously closed dates, with a note indicating the time range of available historical data for the past 12 months.

  • This feature provides users with context on when previous closures occurred.

These enhancements ensure that users can easily spot temporary closures, distinguish between current and past dates, and manage their schedules more effectively, improving overall usability and planning.
