@FranECross This ticket will need UX work to create some clearer text and then FE can implement
@randimays When you have time, will you please answer the questions in the ticket so that Jordan can come up with new text? I'll create an additional FE ticket and show it blocked by this one. Thanks in advance! cc @laflannery
@FranECross sure!
- Why/when does this message appear? 1) if zip code validation fails on the zip code screen because of a service error (e.g. nothing wrong with user input) 2) if income limits retrieval fails on the review screen because of a service error (e.g. nothing wrong with user input)
- What should the user do when they see it?
Because this relies on the uptime of vets-api, any number of things could be wrong:
My recommendation is to have the user try again right away. It's possible we could track the number of times the service has been tried in one session, and if it's continually failing, we can change the error message to say something like "This service is down right now, try again later."
Given that the logic is clearly spelled out in the comment above, I'd point this at a 1
My suggestion is to keep this general enough to cover both instances where this message would appear. I've tried to use the advice in the ticket and also the guidance for feedback messages in the DS.
@laflannery and @randimays What do you think of changing the error message to this?
Your answer didn’t go through. We’re sorry. There’s a problem with our system. Refresh this page or try again later.
@thejordanwood This works for me 👍🏻
This also sounds lovely to me, thank you @thejordanwood!
Thanks, @thejordanwood ! I've updated the FE ticket and unblocked.
Thanks everyone!
Status
[2024-04-24] Moved to Next Refinement; created and linked an FE ticket to implement the new text.
Description
There was a previous ticket updating some error message wording on Income limits. Randi pointed out we have a system error that also included "Please" that should probably get updated.
After asking CAIA to confirm, Laura Willwerth had additional feedback of how this particular message should be updated to fit VA guidance better:
We should update this message to be as specific and have clear actions, depending on the use cases of when it could appear.
