[UX/UI] Update Print Preview/PDF page to be more user friendly #2299

Open exalate-issue-sync[bot] opened 3 days ago

exalate-issue-sync[bot] commented 3 days ago

As a user, I want to be able to clearly distinguish between what it means to view a previously generated PDF/Print Preview and creating a new one with updated information so that I don’t accidentally look at “stale” data.

Acceptance Criteria

Given the user has accessed a Form 3X or 24 report,

When they go to the Print Preview/PDF page

If they have never generated a Print Preview/PDF before,

Then they will have the option to generate a Print Preview/PDF.

And if they have previously generated a Print Preview/PDF, they will see the following information:

  1. Time/date when they last generated the PDF ( ? )
  2. If anything has updated since they last generated the PDF(this would be an enhancement, recommend splitting out from this ticket if we want to pursue it)

And they will have the option to either:

  1. Open the previously generated PDF
  2. Generate a new PDF

Usability concerns include:

Timestamp format

“Submitted on” is unclear verbiage

Difference between “Open PDF” and “Compile New PDF”, and what those actions mean
