Re: Logs

Hi Sharon, I do like the the idea of “stepindicator” and “status”  I also don’t like the word “log(s)” as this has specific meanings for developers.  We can discuss this as well in our meeting this morning.


Thanks

Hi all,

I've been reviewing the Logs section and had the following thoughts that I wanted to run by the group before making changes in GitHub:

  1.  I was thinking it would be clearer if we changed log to stepindicator, which is similar to a term used in WCAG examples (see approach 4) they call it a step-by-step indicator.
  2.  Remove actiontaken and use status instead with values of completed (step is done), current (step the user is on), or null (haven't gotten to the step yet). actiontaken shouldn't be needed because the aria-label + status would already indicate the action that was taken.

In the following example, the user would be booking a trip that has 4 steps. The first step is complete, the second step is currently the one they are working on, and the remaining steps are null because they have not been completed yet.

<div aui-stepindicator="book trip">
        <div aui-status="complete" aria-label="select flight" aui-step="1" aui-steplocation="uri" />
        <div aui-status="current" aria-label="book hotel" aui-step="2" aui-steplocation="uri" />
        <div aui-status="" aria-label="book car" aui-step="3" aui-steplocation="uri" />
        <div aui-status="" aria-label="purchase trip" aui-step="4" steplocation="uri">
</div>
