Today was a blend of design refinement and new feature development. I revisited the sidebar, applying final polishing touches to make it more consistent with the HRIS branding. Since the recent changes to its layout and responsiveness, this final cleanup focused on small yet impactful improvements.
I aligned all icons, ensured spacing between items was consistent, and added subtle transitions to make the user experience feel smoother. The mobile dropdown behavior, which I fixed a few days ago, now performs flawlessly after additional QA checks.
Beyond UI enhancements, I also created the user profile page. This page allows employees to view and update personal details such as their full name, department, job title, contact information, and photo.
Building the profile page required linking the frontend to our Google Sheets-based database, retrieving the user-specific data securely via session identifiers. I also built an edit mode where users can make changes and save updates directly to the Sheets using PHP.
This addition adds a layer of personalization to the system and empowers users to keep their own data up to date without relying solely on admin intervention.
