User-Centered Work

The SBB power app guidelines help you with the development of an app with optimal usability from the perspective of the users. They build upon the within the SBB established user-centered methods, and lead to the users being able to navigate without difficulty and to reach their desired information the quickest way. By using the SBB power app template we achieve a consistent corporate design and user experience on all channels.

Power Apps SBB Template

For the development of internal working aids through power apps (no-code/low-code applications), the SBB Power Apps Template should be used whenever possible. Besides a visual standardisation the template provides numerous technical advantages. The template supports you in developing a consistent app with good usability. To be on the safe side, we recommend that you still test the app with several end users (for example through a simple usability test).

Advantages of the power apps SBB template:

• Access to the components in the SBB look & feel (buttons, accordions, input fields etc.)
• Integrated option for multilingualism (DE, FR, IT)
• Integrated possibility to search for u-numbers and to integrate them in forms (people picker)
• The application adjusts to the display size of mobile devices (responsiveness of components)

To take advantage of these benefits the template needs to be installed manually.
