UH Lost and Found

Authors: Victor Pagan, Jalen Lum, Eisen Hower Oallesma, Michelle Rasavong, Sierra Jansons-Dizon

Overview

The problem: Whenever an item is lost in UH, it can be difficult to figure out where it ends up since each department/building has its own “lost and found” and there isn’t a unified system for lost and found items on campus for students to access.

The solution: UH accessible website to post lost and found items on campus. Students can identify their items and contact the department to request pick up or post about lost items that can help other students reach out to them if their items have been found.

Mockup Page Ideas

• Landing page
• Create user page, login page, delete user page
• Admin home page
• Lost items page, edit items, remove item
• Found items page, edit items, remove item
• Status if claimed or not claimed
• Category search list
• Inbox page with email notifications

Use Case Ideas

• Admin receives a lost item, logs in to account, posts it on the website as found item
• Student goes to landing page, checks out found items page, contacts listed admin who has the item to claim the item, admin updates the item on the website
• Found items can be organized by categories such as clothes, electronic devices, or personal belongings
• Student loses an item, goes to the lost items page and posts description and/or image of the lost item, user messages them about finding lost item
• Inbox contains notifications if someone has found your lost item or similar items were found recently
