Caught the error and displayed an error PNG so it is obvious something
failed. Currently it displayed a thumbnail of a png over the top of the
loading page, and therefore it wasn't obvious of the state.
preview document rather than go to template preview.
This will remove the logic from admin and place it in api so it is
easier to expand on later when there are precompiled PDFs
Since we send all one off messages as priority now[1], we don’t need to
explicitly mark this template as being priority.
This stops the (potential) problem of people skipping the tour, still
having this template and then modifying it to send other messages,
potentially in high volumes from CSV files or the API. I don’t think
this is a real problem now, but worth cleaning this up.
Currently:
- 827 priority templates in the database
- 195 of which are not deleted
- 18 of which are not called ‘Example text message template’
- 3 of which look like genuine use cases, not from services that we run

Done using isort[1], with the following command:
```
isort -rc ./app ./tests
```
Adds linting to the `run_tests.sh` script to stop badly-sorted imports
getting re-introduced.
Chosen style is ‘Vertical Hanging Indent’ with trailing commas, because
I think it gives the cleanest diffs, eg:
```
from third_party import (
lib1,
lib2,
lib3,
lib4,
)
```

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 weird that `/services/<service_id>` returns `404`. The home page
for every service is the dashboard – should be possible to get there
from any other page just by stemming the URL.
Also makes it consistent with organisations, which will have
`/organisations/<org_id>`.
Notifications-api now needs the service_id to check the uniqueness of
the service name when trying to change it. This is to allow a user to
successfully change the pluralization or the case of their service name.
We pin pointed the problem to a bad loop that was calling the format_phone_number_human_readable 216 for 25 rows, yikes.
This PR fixes that performance problem.
Another thing we did for templates, when they started to get
unmanageable, was add a find-as-you type search. We’ve observed real
users interacting with this to great effect, so I think it makes sense
for users too.
Like for templates, it only shows up when there are more than 7, so that
it’s not clutter for teams who don’t have a lot of members.
Some teams have a lot of users now (I think the record is 172). So we
should make it easier for teams to manage large numbers of users.
This is the same change we made for templates (from most recent to
alphabetical) when the number of templates was getting unmanageable.
Sorted on email address because invited users don’t have a name (and
not sorted on both, because a lot of departments have a
`lastname.firstname` scheme for email addresses, but people generally
enter their names as `Firstname Lastname`).
Users can choose whether to have these features on or off now. And
a platform admin can still use the same controls to switch the features
on or off on behalf of a user. There’s no need for the separate buttons.
Our support ticket analysis shows that the most common action request
after going live is turning on letters.
We just do this for any team that requests it – there’s no gatekeeping.
So we should just allow people to make the change themselves.
This will be a better experience for our users, and less work for us.
The design of the page replicates roughly what we have for international
text messaging.
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.
Spreadsheets start at row 1 (the header row), and the values don’t start
until row 2. The row numbers in our URLs start at 0, which is a concept
that only makes sense to programmers.
It’s more predictable and consistent to make the number in the URL match
the row number displayed on the page when previewing the spreadsheet.
We’ve heard from some users, especially those sending letters, that
they’d like to check that a spreadsheet they’ve uploaded has populated
the template correctly.
My reckon is that seeing just one row of the spreadsheet populate the
template isn’t enough to give people confidence that everything’s
working properly.
This commit adds links to all but the currently-previewed row. Clicking
that link will populate the preview with values from that row. These
pages already exist; they were created in this PR:
