Naming of Status bar message and Expand/Collapse buttons #123

Closed yatil closed 7 years ago

yatil commented 8 years ago

[Mildly related to #120.]

From the survey:

@nitedog:

New related issue: I just realized that messages like "showing all techniques" or "showing techniques for technologies HTML" collide with the wording of "expand all techniques" - think the difference between "showing what is filtered" and "expand from what is shown" might be too subtle for the general public to understand. I think we need to change the word "showing" to something else but don't have a better idea at the moment. Unfortunately I think this is a big issue.

@hkramer:

Seems strange that yellow band has text that says: Showing all success criteria and all techniques. But then you have a button that says "expand all techniques." Seems a contradiction.

@slhenry:

I think it would be good to re-think Showing... and Show/Hide and Expand/Collapse. Right now it's not consistent or clear -- e.g., "Showing..." relates to filters whereas "Show techniques and failures for 1.1" is expand/collapse; and "Show techniques and failures for 1.1" and "Expand all techniques" do the same thing, but are worded differently. Also, that button doesn't expand all techniques if some are filtered out. Perhaps "Showing xyz success criteria and xyz techniques." becomes "Listed: xyz success criteria and xyz techniques."? Then the new button could better match the others: "Show techniques" or "Show techniques below" or "Show all listed techniques". If we want to keep the new button "Expand techniques" or "Expand techniques below" or "Expand listed techniques" -- then I think we ought to change the buttons below that do the same thing from "Show/Hide" to "Expand/Collapse" Since we're considering adding this new button around 5, I'd like to ask if "Share this view" can be shortened to just "Share"? We could put more in the pop-up, e.g., "Link to this view:"-> "Link to this view with the filters you have selected" or such...

This is indeed a concern. Here is a proposal to fix the issue:

  1. The “Show all techniques” button is now called “Expand all sections”.
    • It does not only expand the techniques but also the content of the success criteria. As in #120 the use case is described to use browser search, this is probably appropriate.
  2. Instead of using “Showing all success criteria and all techniques”, the beginning of the filter area is now “Selected filters:” which reduces the confusion.
