Appointments: Review of Details screen headings #8182

Closed mistymg closed 6 months ago

mistymg commented 6 months ago

Description

As part of the appointments content audit last year, we completed updates to the details screen for phone and in-person (VA) appointments. As we started to look at tackling video appointments (home, at VA, ATLAS, GFE), we realized we need to look at how we're handling headings across all Details screens.

Updating the headings in Details screens across all appointment types/modalities will create closer alignment with what web is implementing as well as set us up to more easily implement changes to video appointments (and others, like C&P, CC, and pending).

We sketched out appt modalities in Figma to see where we needed some headers.

But after sharing with PM/Eng, we realized we're continuing to just create more of a code mess with approaching changes by modality instead of by common "components" of information across all details screens. PM decided we should clean up the code first and therefore make future changes easier. Eng also advised it'd be helpful to look at the section of the Details screens that can be component-ized (i.e., type of care field will appear the same on all appt modalities the same way with exception of claim exam).

Take away was that we will recommend working on fixing the spaghetti mess of code we have. And that design can work on identifying what sections we can make components.
