The previous text on this page around trial mode was a bit of a
mouthful. Also it only really made sense if you already knew what trial
mode was.
This commit tries to make it really explicit:
- that you’re in trial mode
- what it means to be in trial mode (copied from the trial mode page)
- where you go to not be in trial mode
This was an early reckon feature. There were a few of problems with
it:
- it worked on the service, not just on the API keys as described
- it was back to front, ‘suspending’ a service set `active` to `True`,
reactivating it set `active` to `False`
- no part of the API actually respected the `active` flag on a service
The same intent can be acheived by either:
- revoking an API key
- having a platform admin put your service back into trial mode
So this commit removes the link and the code behind it.
There’s no way of seeing what the current settings are for a service
without individually going to the pages where you can change them.
This commit replaces the list of settings with a table. The table plays
back the current value for each setting.
This is a pattern that has worked well on various services[1] as well
as on our own user profile page.

In research we found that developers orientate themselves around the
API clients rather than the documentation.
We should get them to the client documentation as quickly as possible.
We currently link to the API documentation in three places:
- API integration page
- global footer
- template ‘API info’ page
For the first two this commit:
- removes the link to the documentation
- adds links to each of the 5 clients
For the last one it just removes the link entirely.
Similar to how we do it on the check page, we should indicate if there
are more results than we can show. No-one’s really complained about the
absence of this, but it can’t hurt.
The CSV report isn’t very useful until it has all the rows from your
original file. So we shouldn’t show you the link until all notifications
have been created.
Until this point, it’s useful to know how much longer you need to wait,
so this commit adds a percentage count of how much of the file has been
processed.
It’s weird when the sending number ramps up to ~200 or so and then
just floats around as new rows are being added and older ones are being
marked as delivered/failed.
It’s also not great that you don’t know how many rows are in a file, if
you haven’t uploaded it yourself. But the only reason you want to know
this is to know how much work Notify has remaining to do.
So ‘sending’ should start from the total number of rows in the file
and count down.
The "you only have permission to view this service" banner sort of
makes sense if you don’t have _any_ permissions, but it doesn’t if you
have permission to create API keys. If you can create API keys you can
do a lot more than just view the service.
This is based on some work Gwen did for Civil Service Digital. Let’s
get it in for now so that we have a starting point from which to
improve.
This specifically doesn’t reference ‘optional’ placeholders because I
don’t know how best to explain those yet.
Two problems with having it on the side:
- some users didn’t see it at all
- there wasn’t space to have additional guidance about Markdown-style
formatting
