Played back to see how it felt to people, but without clarity on specific uses, it felt a bit vague in what problems the search and filter were both trying to solve and felt like needed to zoom in on specific use cases.
I held a workshop to clarify the specific needs trying to solve to focus designs and expectations.

From use cases identified sort of two categories formed, one claim searching to do something on, v group of claims exploration. Had to be careful here of ticket scope, determined this ticket is to fulfil the need of a user wanting to easily find one specific claim, rather than blurring and actually ending up more for reporting. From the current designs of a filter, it felt like from tech they thought uneccesary, and bridged into reporting. These findings came me a lot more to think about and refine search design with.

Outcome was to have two versions to take into testing. A (which is based off version 3 above)- a more simple search on learner and training, both optional. Or B (which is based off version 2 above) - one with more options. See which the users felt would be more helpful, which categories are more useful and also how they felt about the layout and date range, as that is something that is a custom component.

- input has risk of spelling mistakes bringing back 0 results

- single value selection

- wording, is it a search or a filter?

- maybe its only the learner and training name that are worthwhile searching, as status is something they are trying to find out so isn’t the question, its the answer
138

- is type something alone they would search for?

- selecting a date range, what type of date? if selecting submitted by, then thats all the claim status except not yet submitted
