nav cleanup on Institute #17

Closed mattkirkland closed 12 months ago

mattkirkland commented 1 year ago

We've got this running on https://staging.institutefsp.org/bnbintel/ (log in w matt's admin credentials in 1pass)

BUT the nav is kind of screwed up. Let's:

visit every page / screen and audit what's happening with the nav. Document this.
- pay attention to mobile, we've got this kind of working in some places and not in other
make a proposal for how to clean this up and make it standard (like: the same stuff is always in the navigation!)

Here is what I documented from the audit.

I have some questions before making a proposal:

Is this site using the bootstrap library?
I saw 2 versions of the Nav bar. One showing "new query" and one showing "home" on the dropdown menu. Is this intentional or can I suggest they both say the same thing?

On the mobile version, there are 3 links in the hamburger menu that don't appear on the desktop (Check's Test Dashboard, Dashboard Part Deux, User growth). Is this also intentional or do we make it the same on desktop?

Some pages don't have a nav bar at all. Is this intentional or can we add the nav bar for those as well?

mattkirkland commented 1 year ago

we can rethink the whole nav, that inconsistency between 'home' and 'new query' is definitely something to be improved.
it's using Bootstrap v3.3.7, an old one
Those sidebar links are 'dashboards' - you can see them in the list that shows up

monicacan commented 1 year ago

thanks! Are the 'dashboards' supposed to be pinned to the menu? Or can I find another place for them? @mattkirkland

mattkirkland commented 1 year ago

I think the key is that they should be QUICKLY accessible - we want a CEO-level person to have stats about their app at their fingertips, and the dashboard function is the most direct way there

Did you have any comments for this? @mattkirkland

monicacan commented 1 year ago

Poking @mattkirkland! What should be the next steps for this? Do you want me to pick a version and prepare it for handoff?

mattkirkland commented 12 months ago

Closing this because I want @vikascripps to take a fresh look
