The most important part of the broadcast is what content was sent where
(and when).
This commit reduces the priority of the ‘meta’ information, like who
prepared and approved the broadcast. I also think that the ‘end’ time is
a lot less important than the start time, since most people will receive
the alert at or near to the start time.
This then matches the order in which the message is drafted, first the
content, then the areas. It also matches the order we’re going to have
on the new dashboard.
This prefixes everything to do with areas/the map with `area-list`, so
from looking at one element you know which `.scss` file will contain the
relevant code.
We hide the map inside a details element.
Because the map has such a strong shape I don’t think it needs the grey
border to contain it. This commit removes the border, and adjusts the
spacing to group things by proximity alone.
By removing the border and associated gutter we can give more space to
the map, and make the page look less busy.
Since the key relies on visual association between the shapes on the
maps and the styling of the key, it won’t work for non-visual users.
An alternative way of giving them the same information is by providing
the size of the area numerically.
We want to let users learn the system by trying it out. At the moment
they can’t explore it fully by themselves because they’re blocked at
the point of approving the broadcast, unless they involve in another
member of their team. Having to involve another person is friction that
will discourage people from exploring.
So this adds a button that lets people approve their own broadcasts in
trial mode, with some rough-and-ready content that explains training
mode and how it would be different to trial mode.
Messages awaiting approval don’t have an end time – it’s set
automatically once the message is approved.
We need to revisit the content on this page, but this is just a fix so
that the page doesn’t `500`.
At the moment viewing a broadcast is limited to those users who have
the `send_messages` permission.
This doesn’t match how we describe the permissions on the team members
page
This commit makes it so that any team member can see a broadcast that’s
in any state other than `draft`.
At the moment they will get a ‘technical difficulties’ error if they
try.
We probably want to do something around letting people self-approve
broadcasts in trial mode, but for now just telling them they can’t is a
better experience than ‘technical difficulties’ (and will probably be
close to what they should see on a live service as well).
It’s an irreversible action if you do click it, so it feels like an ‘Are
you sure?’ step is sensible. Follows the same pattern for deleting
templates, etc.
If a broadcast definitely shouldn’t go out (for example because it has a
spelling mistake or is going to the wrong areas) then we should have a
way of removing it. Once it’s removed no-one else can approve it, and it
isn’t cluttering up the dashboard.
This is a link (because it’s a secondary action) and red (because it’s
destructive, in that it’s throwing away someone’s work).
Since new broadcasts will go into `pending-approval`, we now need a way
of approving them.
This commit adds a button to this page to start (or approve) the
broadcast. This button is wrapped in a bordered box, to emphasise that
it’s something consequential.
Since we’ll be linking to pending broadcasts from the dashboard, the
page needs to be ready to display them.
Pending broadcasts lack a few bits of information that live or previous
broadcasts have (like the start date for example). So this commit hides
the code that displays those bits of information.
This commit adds a page to view a single broadcast. This is important
for two reasons:
- users need an audit of what happened when, and who else was involved
in approving or cancelling a broadcast
- we need a place to put actions (approving, cancelling) on a broadcast
so that you can confirm details of the message and the areas before
performing the action
