For scheduled files we say ‘sending today at 5:00pm’ or ‘sending
tomorrow at 11:00am’. But once we’ve started processing these files we
say ‘Sent 27 September at 5:00pm’. This makes it sound like 27 September
is not today.
This commit makes the dates shown on the dashboard consistent, by saying
‘today’ and ‘yesterday’ instead of absolute dates.
In some cases it’s not appropriate for teams to have GOV.UK branding.
But they all start with it by default, if we can’t make a better guess.
We should be more explicit about this to reduce the number of teams
sending emails with the wrong branding.
We get a few tickets at the moment where people are asking for the
branding they already have.
We think that playing back the name of the branding on this page should
reduce how often that happens.
Letting people input a bit of free text should reduce the amount of back
and forth we have to do over support tickets when setting up someone’s
branding.
If something else is the only option then we don’t show the radio button
at all and have just the free text input on the page (not behind a
progressive disclosure).
Users who work in local government can’t have GOV.UK branding on their
emails. And only those working for Companies House (for example) can
request the Companies House branding.
This commit adds:
- new choices of email branding, which offer the name of the branding,
rather than the style
- logic to filter this list to only the applicable options, based on
what we know about the user, service and organisation
This is a change from the previous approach which put the onus on users
to figure out the style of branding they wanted, when we might already
know that a lot of the options weren’t available to them, or would be
inconsistent with the branding of other services in their organisation.
