Usability of Access & Availability buttons

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Is your feature request related to new functionality not yet included in the product? Please describe.

This request incorporates several different suggestions for the badge and button presentation for Access & Availability. These requests may benefit from usability testing on the current design to identify problems with the current button options.

The current button styling is also defined in the Emory Libraries web pattern library, and it is beneficial long term if button styles remain consistent across our websites and applications.

Is your feature request related to a problem or a change to existing functionality? Please describe.
Some library staff report that users don't understand how to click on the current buttons.
Some library staff want to reduce the number of button and status options presented.

Describe the solution you'd like
Suggestions submitted include:

  • Make the Online status badge display in green like the Available status for Physical items (users want to click on the status area instead of the Connect button).
  • Make the entire badge and button set clickable
