I would like to suggest making the back button of sub view dashboard pages editable.
The current functionality is to open the previous page.
This is great most of the time, but can lead to issues where instead of going to a different page the button opens up other previously opened elements, leaving the user stuck on the subview.
For example:
I use Bubble Card for pop-up windows on most of my room subviews (hvac controls, media, …). This keeps my mobile dashboard clutter free.
The problem is that the pop-up will append a ‘#pop-up-name’ suffix to the subview url, so it will be seen as a new page.
When the pop-up is closed and the back button is pressed, it will re-open the pop-up because that was the page that was previously opened.
Possible ‘fixes’:
My current fix is to add a badge to the top of the page which navigates back to the dashboard homepage. This works, but it’s not a very elegant solution. It adds a button in case the back button breaks, but other than that is useless.
A cleaner fix would be to have the navigation bar for subviews editable.
This would allow users to point the back button to a fixed url or even hide it completely and replace the back button with a badge or card.
