If a user is logged in then we already know their name and email
address. So there’s no need for them to fill them again on the support
form.
One concern we might have about this is the user not realising we’re
doing this, and the feedback form looking like a bit of a black hole.
So we’re replaying their email address on this page to reassure them
that:
- we know who they are
- and that they’ll get a reply
The kind of communications we’re getting at the moment can broadly be
broken down into:
- problems
- questions and feedback
We will need to triage problems differently, because they could
potentially be urgent/severe/emergency/P1/whatever language we use.
Questions or feedback will never be P1.
Two reasons for making the user categorise their tickets themselves:
- Outside of hours we can’t get someone out of bed in order to decide if
a ticket is a problem or just feedback
- We can tailor the subsequent pages to whether it’s a problem or
feedback (eg showing a link to the status page if the user is having
a problem)
This commit let’s users make the choice with a pair of radio buttons.
It also cleans up a bunch of the tests and parameterizes them so we’re
testing the flow for both ticket types.
Our support process is about to get more fully fledged so we’ll need
an index page to route people properly.
We reckon that users will also want to know what the support process is,
so let’s explain it on this page.
