What is Bitmap

This chapter details the redesign process of the bank reconciliation interface of ContaAzul, an online cloud-based financial management software for small businesses in Brazil. The reconciliation is a feature that allows the user to import bank account statements and easily register them into the software, generating automated reports that help companies achieve their financial control. The research problem was motivated by use cases that were not covered in the studied version of this feature, as well as by recent technological advances. Interaction design was chosen as the project approach and Garrett's five planes as the methodology. As the final deliverable, a prototype was composed of static, bitmap screens, elaborated from a participatory design perspective. This research was developed as a course conclusion project in the Master's degree in Design Program of University of the Region of Joinville, Brazil. The first author of this chapter is also a design coordinator at ContaAzul.
