Adding a ‘testing’ template it not enough. It needs to have some real
looking content, so that we can:
- work out what a service is doing
- assess whether that’s a reasonable (ie meeting the terms of use) thing
to be doing with Notify
At the moment we’re having to go back to services quite a lot when they
request to go live and ask them for this stuff.
We require that a user has a real reply-to email address before going
live. We can partially automate this by at least telling users who
haven’t done this.
This only applies for users that have email templates; we shouldn’t
bother users who aren’t going to send emails about this.
We need users to have created some templates before they go live, so we
can see what kind of messages they intend to send.
We can do this automatically based on the work done in
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/1892
One of the things that we want to check before a service goes live is
that they have at least two team members with the manage service
permission. Anyone who can make a request to go live has this
permission, so that means one additional user is needed. This is what we
can automatically communicate to the user.
Under the hood this makes use of the logic added in
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/1891
We have tickets from people asking how long the process takes. I suspect
that this is because they’re not getting to the bottom of the form
before they’re ready to go live.
A lot of users aren’t reading or paying attention to the checklist on
the request to go live page. We think that we can get more people to
read it by putting it on its own page, where users won’t jump straight
to filling in the form.
This will, later on, let us make this page smarter by automatically
detecting if they’ve done the necessary things.
It’s ‘per month’ – ‘a month’ is a colloquialism.
Large numbers should be chunked using commas; ‘20,000’ already is, this commit makes ‘1000’ consistent.
When we first made this form you couldn’t send one off messages with
Notify. It’s interesting to us because it might help identity teams who
would benefit from email auth, or other features that we build in the
future for caseworkers.
It’s not either text messages, or emails, or both now – it’s any
combination of the three channels.
This commit adds ‘letters’ as an option on the request to go live page
by changing the radio buttons to a group of checkboxes, so the user can
choose as many or as few as they want.
This commit also does a bunch of housekeeping stuff around the tests for
this page, because they haven’t been touched in quite some time.
In pages specific to a service (e.g. dashboard and sub pages) the title
needs to distinguish which service it applies to. This is mainly to give
context to screen reader users who could be managing multiple services.
Implementing this uses template inheritance:
`page_title` includes `per_page_title` includes `service_page_title`
‘GOV.UK Notify’ is inserted into every page title.
Pages that set `service_page_title` get the service name inserted too.
If we want someone to read something (ie that they need to have the MOU
signed), then the best way is to make them interact with it.
And if someone doesn’t have the MOU in place, then we need to know to
send them a copy. The best way of them telling us this is in this form,
rather than sending them to the generic contact form and have them
compose a message saying ‘please send me the MOU thanks’, which we
haven’t seen anyone actually do.
We’ve had some non-helpful answers to these questions, eg ‘3’.
This commit adds examples of the kind of response we’re looking for, to
help users write good answers.
This commit:
- moves things around a bit on the request to go live page
- sticks a textbox in there
So when someone click the big green button, we will get a support ticket
that looks something like:
```
From Test User <test@user.gov.uk> on behalf of Test Service
(6ce466d0-fd6a-11e5-82f5-e0accb9d11a6)
---
We’ll send about 1000 text messages in the first month, and then 10,000
text messages per month after that. Usage of our service is about 50%
higher in March, at the end of the tax year.
```
This commit modifies the HTML `<title>` tags for all the pages. It makes two
main changes:
- make the title tag match the `<h1>` of the page, for better or worse
- put the service name after the page title, seperated by an en dash, as per
GOV.UK
This commit examines all the pages that use the page footer component, and
determines whether they should have a back button, a secondary link, both or
neither.
Submit form was
- a confusing name in itself
- not descriptive, because it also has an optional ‘back’ link
This commit also puts this component in as many pages as possible, stripping
out any hard-coded buttons and links.
It replaces any usage of buttons for ‘back’, because these are links, not
buttons (ie they don’t change any data).
For pages where
- we want you to be sure that you want to do what you’re about to do
- we want to be sure it’s you trying to do the thing
This adds a page that asks the user to confirm their password.
Adds the pages and wires them together, so that it’s possible to click
through them.
The wording is not quite English, but attempts to be an rough description of
what the consequences are for each of the four actions.
