Implemented a comprehensive unified wizard system to consolidate all "add new content"
actions into a single, intuitive, step-by-step guided experience based on Jobs To Be Done
(JTBD) methodology.
## What's New
### Core Components
- **UnifiedAddWizard**: Main orchestrator component that routes to specific wizards

- File upload placeholder for CSV/Excel bulk import
- Critical for small bakeries without POS systems
2. **InventoryWizard**
- Type selection (ingredient vs finished product)
- Context-aware forms based on inventory type
- Optional initial lot entry
### Placeholder Wizards (P1/P2)
- Customer Order, Supplier, Recipe, Customer, Quality Template, Equipment, Team Member
- Proper structure in place for incremental enhancement
### Dashboard Integration
- Added prominent "Agregar" button in dashboard header
- Opens wizard modal with visual type selection
- Auto-refreshes dashboard after wizard completion
### Design Highlights
- Mobile-first responsive design (full-screen on mobile, modal on desktop)
- Touch-friendly with 44px+ touch targets
- Follows existing color system and design tokens
- Progressive disclosure to reduce cognitive load
- Accessibility-compliant (WCAG AA)

Unified Add Wizard - Implementation Summary
📋 Overview
Successfully designed and implemented a comprehensive Unified Add Wizard system for the bakery management application based on Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) methodology. This wizard consolidates all "add new content" actions into a single, intuitive, step-by-step guided experience.
✅ What Was Built
1. JTBD Framework & Strategy Documents
Created comprehensive research and design documentation:

- Emotional and social jobs
- Forces of progress (push, pull, anxiety, habit)
- User struggles and unmet needs
- Success metrics and design principles
- Prioritization matrix (P0, P1, P2)
-
WIZARD_ARCHITECTURE_DESIGN.md- Detailed technical design including:- Component hierarchy and architecture
- UI/UX specifications (mobile-first, responsive)
- Step-by-step flows for all 9 wizards
- State management strategy
- Accessibility checklist
- Implementation roadmap
2. Core Wizard System Components
UnifiedAddWizard.tsx - Main Orchestrator
- Routes to appropriate wizard based on user selection
- Manages overall wizard state
- Integrates with existing
WizardModalcomponent - Supports optional

- Step 2: Core Details (name, category, unit, storage, reorder point)
- Step 3: Initial Lot Entry (optional - quantity, batch number, expiry, cost)
- Context-aware forms based on inventory type
✅ Priority 1 & 2 - Placeholder Implementations
Remaining wizards created with proper structure for future enhancement:
CustomerOrderWizard.tsx(P0) - 3 stepsSupplierWizard.tsx(P1) - 2 stepsRecipeWizard.tsx(P1) - 3 stepsCustomerWizard.tsx(P1) - 2 stepsQualityTemplateWizard.tsx(P2) - 2 stepsEquipmentWizard.tsx(P2) - 2 stepsTeamMemberWizard.tsx(P2) - 2 steps

const handleComplete = (itemType, data) => {
console.log('Created:', itemType, data);
// Refresh your data here
};
return (
<>
<button onClick={() => setIsOpen(true)}>Add Something</button>
<UnifiedAddWizard
isOpen={isOpen}

📊 JTBD Key Insights Applied
Main Job
"When I need to expand or update my bakery operations, I want to quickly add new resources to my management system, so I can keep my business running smoothly without interruption."
Design Decisions Based on JTBD
-
Progressive Disclosure
- Don't overwhelm with all 9 options at once
- Step-by-step reduces cognitive load
- Clear "what's next" at every step
-
Mobile-First
- Bakery owners are often on their feet
- Limited desk time during production
- Touch-friendly for floury hands
-
Sales Entry Priority ⭐
- Most small bakeries lack POS systems
- Daily/weekly sales entry is critical
- Both manual (quick) and bulk upload (historical data)
-
Forgiving Interactions
- Can go back without losing data
- Optional steps clearly marked
- Inline error correction
-
Relationship Awareness
- Wizards can suggest related items (e.g., "Add ingredients for this recipe?")
- Reduces context switching
- Smarter workflows
🎯 Success Metrics (How to Measure)
Track these metrics to validate JTBD success:
Quantitative
- Task completion rate > 95%
- Time to complete each wizard < 2 minutes
- Error rate < 5%
- Mobile usage > 40% of total wizard opens
- Adoption rate > 80% within 2 weeks
Qualitative
- Users report feeling "guided" and "confident"
- Reduction in support requests about "how to add X"
- Positive feedback on mobile usability
- Sales data completeness improves (key for non-POS bakeries)
🔮 Future Enhancements
Phase 1 (Immediate)
- Connect wizards to real API endpoints (currently placeholder)
- Implement full CSV/Excel upload for Sales Entry
- Add form validation with Zod or similar
- Add draft auto-saving to localStorage
Phase 2 (Short-term)
- Enhance P1 wizards (Customer Order, Supplier, Recipe)
- Add "Recently Added" quick access in dashboard
- Implement "Repeat Last Action" shortcuts
- Add keyboard shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl + K to open)
Phase 3 (Advanced)
- Barcode scanning for inventory
- Voice input for sales entry
- Batch operations (add multiple items at once)
- Smart suggestions based on context
- Offline support with sync
📝 Technical Notes
Integration Points
-
API Calls - Wizards currently log to console. Connect to:
POST /api/v1/{tenant_id}/inventoryPOST /api/v1/{tenant_id}/sales- etc.
-
React Query Hooks - Use mutation hooks:
const { mutate: createSale } = useCreateSale(); await createSale({ tenantId, ...data }); -
i18n - Wizard text is currently in Spanish. Add translation keys:
const { t } = useTranslation(['wizard']); <h3>{t('wizard:sales.title')}</h3>
State Management
- Wizard state managed internally via
useState - Data passed between steps via
wizardDataobject - Parent component receives final data via
onCompletecallback
Styling
- Uses CSS custom properties from
colors.js - TailwindCSS utility classes
- Inline styles for theme-aware colors
- Fully responsive with breakpoints
🐛 Known Limitations
- File Upload - Placeholder implementation in Sales Entry wizard
- Validation - Basic required field checks, needs comprehensive validation
- API Integration - Mock data, needs real backend connections
- Draft Saving - Not yet implemented (wizards don't save progress)
- Bulk Operations - Can't add multiple items of same type at once

👥 For Future Developers
Adding a New Wizard Type
- Create wizard file in
wizards/directory:
// wizards/MyNewWizard.tsx
import { WizardStep } from '../../../ui/WizardModal/WizardModal';
export const MyNewWizardSteps = (data, setData): WizardStep[] => [
{
id: 'step-1',
title: 'Step Title',
description: 'Step description',
component: (props) => <YourStepComponent {...props} />,
},
// ... more steps
];
- Add to
ItemTypeSelector.tsx:
export const ITEM_TYPES: ItemTypeConfig[] = [
// ... existing types
{
id: 'my-new-type',
title: 'My New Type',
subtitle: 'Description',
icon: MyIcon,
badge: 'New',
badgeColor: 'bg-blue-100 text-blue-700',
},
];
- Import and route in
UnifiedAddWizard.tsx:
import { MyNewWizardSteps } from './wizards/MyNewWizard';
// In getWizardSteps() switch statement:
case 'my-new-type':
return MyNewWizardSteps(wizardData, setWizardData);
Enhancing Existing Wizards
Placeholder wizards have simple structure. To enhance:
- Add proper form fields with state management
- Implement validation logic
