GOV.UK task list iteration research
Documents research-driven task list changes including status tags no longer using uppercase text, whole-row clickable tasks, hint text, button-like status confusion, and drawing more attention to tasks needing action.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete multiple tasks | Choose complete multiple tasks when users need a saved progress hub for several meaningful task sections in a transaction. | Selecting a task row opens that task and returns users to the same hub with updated status after save, skip, or completion. | GOV.UK research supports whole-row clickable tasks, hint text, status tags that do not look like buttons, and less visual weight for completed tasks. |
| Task list | Choose task list when the interface needs row-level task names, links, hint text, and status labels for a known set of service tasks. | A startable task row opens the represented task; the status label is not a separate primary command. | GOV.UK research supports whole-row clickable tasks, hint text, non-uppercase status tags, avoiding button-like statuses, and lower emphasis for completed rows. |
