**ViDAS Mock Ups Evaluation.**

Different changes were made to the design in this stage of the design creation process. The mockups creation process was iterative, and the focus group members were involved throughout this process. Mockups for different pages and interactivity among them were created, and the suggested changes were added iteratively until the final design was approved.

**Table 5** shows all the stakeholders'suggested changes. These changes were added or deleted in multiple iterations in the ViDAS design. The label "Included" or "+" refers to components added to the design, while "Excluded" or "-"refers to the design components excluded from the final design. Some of these changes included

the User login system that was a part of the design but later excluded because ViDAS was planned to be an integrated module to a previous application and that application already has a user login system. Upload functionality was changed because currently the stakeholders use Excel data format for simulation output. Another design component was to create visualizations from selected fields exported from the Overview tab but was also excluded because the Overview Tab is currently supposed to only find trends and patterns in the uploaded data. Inspired by the tableau design, the concept of one chart per sheet (which would later be used for dashboard building) was also included in the design. Design for chart recommendation and sheets was also included later on. Further, changes such as labels of tabs, title page, and buttons were changed throughout this phase of the design.
