Add tooltips #89

Closed mebrett closed 2 years ago

jimsafley commented 3 years ago

Could you clarify? Where would you like to see the tooltips? What do you envision?

mebrett commented 3 years ago

In advisor feedback, they were looking for tool tips to clarify the actions on the dashboard (so maybe "view records" or "see all"). We might also address this with some changes in language on the dashboard.

The tooltips for the layout views are very slow to load for me (Chrome), slow enough that I could easily think they didn't exist. This might be a browser issue?

Either tooltip or expandable helper text for the definitions of item status (particularly "new" and "locked").

Here are my suggestions for the aria-label/title attributes.

On record list view, it would be helpful to have a tooltip to for the record number - there are tooltips for the edit and details icon, but nothing that explains what clicking on the number does.

I can see how this is confusing. Typically the sort of row header is a title that's more self-evident as a link to a show view. For words/phrases that we already provide for translation, we could use "View" or "Values". If you think there's enough demand for specificity to justify a new string, maybe "View record values"?

for the dot-horizontal scroll on the record view, having the left/right arrows say "scroll left" for people who don't immediately understand that the .... < > is a scroll option.

All our pagination defaults to "Previous" and "Next". Would that be enough?

in transcription view, tooltip for next/previous page would be helpful, to clarify that it's navigating the media and not the form.

"Previous media" "Next media"

@mebrett @jmotis When you have a moment, could you give your thoughts on these suggestions? I can implement the tooltips as soon as I get confirmation on the content.

mebrett commented 2 years ago

For the record number, I think "View" is sufficient. It's consistent with elsewhere in the system.

Do we think it would be too busy to make the dot-scroll icons say "previous field" and "next field"? If we then made the next/previous in the transcription view "previous media" and "next media" that would be consistent terminology.

Jessica - thoughts?

jmotis commented 2 years ago

View is fine by me. I like the idea of previous field/next field in parallel with previous media/next media if it's not too busy.
