| |
| − | *Why improve the Feedback Viewer, and why now?
| |
| − | *Originally launched in 2021
| |
| − | *We wanted to make improvements, but not enough resources, but now DTO has joined CDS which means we have more HR resources
| |
| − | *We ran a UX review, which assesses usability standards, we found that:
| |
| − | **Many users want to access many pages at once, not allowed currently
| |
| − | **Users want summaries to make sense of data
| |
| − | **Alerts sent to users could be helpful
| |
| − | **Problems with setting date range
| |
| − | Design recommendations
| |
| − | *Simplify and improve filters
| |
| − | *Better date range picker
| |
| − | *Users can now pick from more than one department
| |
| − | *Simplified results to make it easier for user to read/analyze
| |
| − | *Exploring including footer with guidance
| |
| − | *Version 2 which implements these improvements is almost finished
| |
| − | Next steps
| |
| − | *We plan to go live by March 31, 2024 with V2, some of the improvements might be implemented even sooner
| |
| − | *We hope that these UX improvements help your work
| |
| − | *We are thinking about the best way to summarize the data using the tool, so you don’t have to use tools other than Feedback Viewer to analyze the data
| |
| − | '''Questions:'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | How many of you in the web community share this information with senior management? Please share your feedback in the chat.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''DTO:''' We found that people really like the graphics so that they can share them in presentations with management.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''PCO:''' Is there a way to share the information more widely with a lower barrier to entry, similar to Adobe Analytics link? So that you don’t have to actually go into the program.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | DTO: Maybe we could have user profiles to save common settings.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Chat comments:'''
| |
| − | *If it goes public, Canada.ca Content Style Guide should be applied to the content.
| |
| − | *The feedback tool has become our preferred feedback collection method (over TSS) because we can see exactly which page the comments are related to
| |
| − | *As a first step, could we simply save as PDF and share the PDF to senior management?
| |
| − | Why is findability of you content important
| |
| − |
| |
| − | External search
| |
| − | *Performing well on average
| |
| − | Internal search
| |
| − | *Significant room for improvement
| |
| − | Barriers for web advisors and web managers - our thoughts
| |
| − | *No easy way to measure findability
| |
| − | *Lack/incomplete guidance and tools for improving findability
| |
| − | *Lack of capacity for continuous improvement
| |
| − | [https://app.sli.do/event/24PYsxEYBiwV8fHCzFozrj/live/polls Poll - Help us understand your search performance needs]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We see the Feedback Viewer tool as part of a bigger system:
| |
| − | *Learn findability
| |
| − | *Research search terms
| |
| − | *Measure search performance
| |
| − | *Apply SEO to content
| |
| − | *Improve internal search/boosting
| |
| − | We also realized that we have to improve our guidance for the whole process. There is good guidance, but it’s scattered through many channels.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Our team is already working to improve things, for instance they are working on improving Metadata guidance.

| |
