@allyceh @laurjpeterson @mkhandekar : I've added two variants for displaying docket type (AMA lanes and legacy). I'd love your feedback as comments below, and or we can chat about it in a call. Would love to know who will be in charge of developing the front-end of this, to verify and clarify that one or both of these treatments are accurate to the way we want to display docket numbers in Queue table.
Notes This variant has rounded ellipses representing each docket lane. To contrast, case-labels are more rectangular and have bolder colors that pop out more.
Notes This variant has semi-bold treatment for each letter that represents a docket lane. Again, to contrast, case-labels are more rectangular and have bolder colors that pop out more.
Thanks @sneha-pai!
From an engineering perspective, I think @mdbenjam should weigh in. It's likely that he or @lowellrex would implement this (though anyone else on foxtrot could do this, too!)
Hi @laurjpeterson
Can this design exist exactly the same in the Case snapshot section of Case details?
Yes, definitely, placement TBD.
This doesn't seem very hard to implement, though it does add two new stylings that aren't in the styleguide. It looks like the docket type is within the docket number. I think this is 👍 , sorting will just be sort by docket type then docket number.
@sneha-pai These look good! I also prefer option A like the rest of the group.
A thought for the future: It seems like we're putting a lot of information into these table rows. And arguably, it's all very useful for judges and attorneys to have when they're assigning or reviewing cases. Is there any information in these table rows that we can just display on the Case Details page one level deeper? Like docket number for instance. Now that we're displaying the lane a case is in, do users need to see the docket number, or is that information not "need to know" at this level? Same with the vet ID number. How might having the vet ID number help them at this point rather than keeping it at the Case Details level?
Last thought: If we have the ability to remove any of these data points (per the comment above) in the table and keep them at the Case Details level, we could use full words (ex: Hearing, Specialty) in one set of our tags. That would allow us minimize the different groups of abbreviated tags that a user would have to remember and would help to distinguish them a little more (?).
@mdbenjam - can you weigh in on the feasibility of sorting functionality by docket number and docket type? thinking that on one click, the user could view cases grouped by docket type (either with some pre-determined ranking or alphabetical) then by docket number (oldest to newest / newest to oldest depending on the direction clicked)
@sneha-pai - looking back through some materials. i think the direct lane is officially Direct Review
and has been called Direct docket
for short.
Wait so is the question can we sort by docket type and then within type docket number? That answer is yes. Easy to do. Or is the question can we sort by docket type with one click, and a second click to sort by docket number? That answer is no, much harder to do.
@mdbenjam was asking about the first scenario you walked through. Thanks for answering for both options, though, it helps!
Separate thought - we continue to see in our user research sessions that attorneys and judges spend the bulk of their time in Reader. How does this design translate, if at all, to Reader? I'm wondering if users could benefit from docket type being in the heading somehow for Reader, since the Claims folder details accordion isn't expanded when a user navigates to Reader. -- LP

When BVA employees are working appeals, they need to see what type of docket the appeal is on, so they know what procedures to follow.
