Questions and Answers

Share this button

  • You can can edit the ‘Share this page’ button as needed
  • Should we have this button at all?
  • DTO has investigated and it’s not used very often, not mandatory part of the template
  • It’s on the to do list to look at this component, but lower priority
  • On mobile, most users have a baked in share function, makes button less useful
  • Departments can remove it if they wish

Any update on Twitter X logo?

  • Update will come from TBS, but no update at this time

Any update on GC web forms?

  • Forms will have protected B status, on forward agenda, but no specific updates at this time

DTO presentation - Sign in button

  • Applied to different Canada.ca pages, and many CRA pages.
  • Usage has been increasing
  • Up to 82 accounts now
  • Want to build on this progress, people are looking for these sign in buttons, creates demand to have sign in on many different pages
  • Let's expand the sign in buttons
  • CRA has a page listing all accounts and when users should access them
  • Part of the mandatory pattern, is a section at the bottom of the page to direct users to the right account
  • Trying to change users view of the GCKey account, to inform users that’s it’s a way to verify, not an account
  • This work is ongoing with working group

Comment from floor:

What are barriers to implementing a sign-in button?

  • Technical problems to identify user
    • Answer: There should be a register button and a sign in button
    • Registration information should be a on a different page
