Context stays visible but secondary; the labeled question field keeps scan, voice, item lookup and Send together.

A stable two-level hierarchy.

Search inventory, tasks, or policies

The navy area now holds identity and global actions only. Search and page-specific information stay on the light content surface.

The hierarchy wraps without clipping.

Quick actions

Work progress

Accessibility annotations

Clear in sight, touch and speech.

Dynamic Type

Large titles, labels and supporting copy wrap naturally without horizontal scrolling.

Touch

Every global action and tab is at least 44 points; fields are at least 48 points.

VoiceOver

Home follows the requested reading order; Assistant focus moves to “How can I help?”

Focus and contrast

Blue focus rings remain visible; Increased Contrast strengthens text and boundaries.

Named controls

Search, barcode, voice, item lookup, Send, notifications, profile and context info have explicit labels.

Motion and layout

Reduced Motion removes push movement; portrait and landscape avoid horizontal scrolling.

Before / after

Less chrome, clearer work.

Before

  • Search, decorative Assistant shortcut and profile competed in one row
  • Greeting and store context were absent
  • Acronyms such as MPI and IMS led quick actions
  • Messages, Dismiss and system language increased learning effort

After

  • Compact Meijer bar with notifications and profile only
  • Greeting, context and labeled Search establish the page
  • Inventory, Store systems, Orders and Pricing use familiar language
  • Priority, Store updates, Quick actions and Work progress create a predictable order

Review gate

Home and Assistant ready for review.

The remaining iOS workflows, responsive web adaptation and case-study rewrite remain unchanged until these two screens and the shared header are approved.
