Content audit: Mentions of Direct Upload and its url on VA.gov pages

[RLHecht]

Describe the request

Content audits are performed by searching the codebase and compiled site for specific terms. Please provide any context for the audit, and any related terms / alternate spellings, that could return content you are interested in.

• Context: QuickSubmit is launching and will replace the use of Direct Upload on 6/30/22. In order for Sitewide Content to update our pages, we need to know all the places where Direct Upload is currently mentioned as well as the url it's currently linking to: https://eauth.va.gov/accessva/?cspSelectFor=dmhs

We already know it appears on these pages:

• https://www.va.gov/disability/upload-supporting-evidence/

• https://www.va.gov/pension/survivors-pension/

• https://www.va.gov/burials-memorials/memorial-items/headstones-markers-medallions/

• https://www.va.gov/burials-memorials/eligibility/burial-in-private-cemetery/

• Terms of interest: Direct Upload, https://eauth.va.gov/accessva/?cspSelectFor=dmhs

• Alternate spellings / terms: direct upload

• Any Content types to specifically include or exclude? We need benefit pages (detail pages and hub landing pages), resources and support, root level pages. You can exclude all VAMC

Implementation date

When does this request need to be complete?: 6/14 (we need to go live with the changes by 6/30)

Please submit all engineering requests at least 1 full sprint in advance (so we can work it into our next sprint).

@ethanteague, you mentioned in slack that "All instances of https://eauth.va.gov/accessva/?cspSelectFor=dmhs appear to be coming from cms. It's not anywhere to be found in content-build or vets-website." Could you say how you determined that – was it a search of those two repos?

That's right, @wesrowe. I did an all files search for the url string in both of my local repos using VsCode.

Meeting scheduled with Tanner on Mon 6/6 to confirm my local setup to grep for results.

@RLHecht I searched for the phrase "direct upload" and the eauth URL: grep -Rli "Direct Upload" build/localhost > directupload.txt grep -Rli "https://eauth.va.gov/accessva/?cspSelectFor=dmhs" build/localhost > ~/Downloads/directupload2.txt

And that returned this set of pages:

/burials-memorials/eligibility/burial-in-private-cemetery/index.html
/burials-memorials/memorial-items/presidential-memorial-certificates/index.html
/burials-memorials/memorial-items/headstones-markers-medallions/index.html
/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/index.html
/disability/upload-supporting-evidence/index.html

The only new paths besides the ones you mentioned already are these:

/burials-memorials/memorial-items/presidential-memorial-certificates/index.html
/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/index.html

I sanity checked against a Google search, and I do see several additional VBA forms that include the URL in the form itself via google (e.g. https://www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/vba-21-22a-are.pdf). Our audit can't check for contents of files, as far as I know - if those forms are concerns here, let us know and I can see if there is any way to check file contents.

I'll let you close this ticket if you're satisfied here. Thanks!

Thanks so much @jilladams We don't need to make updates to forms pages but I can let the stakeholders who asked us to make updates to our pages that there are other mentions of this out there. I can close this ticket.
