Users unsure when list is scrollable

[SeanLeRoy]

Description

• Discovery & Design
• Unclear to user that when a file list or thumbnail list is present that it is or isn't scrollable at first. This seemed to largely be a problem when smaller groupings of files were expected like ~11 where at a glance it could go either way (scrollable or not).

Below to be filled out by UX during kickoff Q&A to the best of current understanding

Size

Effort level (xs, sm, m, lg, xl)

Scope

Not redesign the entire file list. Could add some gradient or some new height fixture, dynamic height, or height control.

User needs statement(s)

Yoav from AIBS says it is unclear that the thumbnails flow down vertically & that he didn’t know he could scroll.
Relatedly, he would prefer to not have to scroll and instead for everything to be rendered. I'm unsure how that would work for lists of thousands of files though.

Additional notes

Knowns/unknowns, stakeholders, time/dependency considerations, deliverables
