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
