Provide information in UI on Collaboration List results
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

User story:

As a user of the Collaboration List (either on Special:AllEvents or the transcluded Collaboration List), I want to quickly and easily be able to determine when there are and are not results for my search filters, so that I can easily make search adjustments or take informed next steps.

Background:

Right now, when someone enters a certain search in the Collaboration List, it is not always clear if they received any matches or not (since we don't have a clear empty state). Users may also not know to go to the Ongoing tab (since they don't know if there are any matches by default), and sometimes the Upcoming tab is closed, and the user may not clearly know that there are results if they open the tab.

We want to reduce this confusion, so it is easier for users of the Collaboration List (whether on Special:AllEvents or on a transcluded version of the Collaboration List) to know if results have been generated or not.

Acceptance Criteria:
  • Develop design concepts with the goal to clarify the results generated from a given search in the collaboration list, which probably includes 2 things but could include more, and they are:

Event Timeline

The team discussed this work based on these designs:

Desktop-Community list-Events (2).png (1,442×1,552 px, 75 KB)

Desktop-Community list --Events (1).png (1,442×990 px, 77 KB)

There are two main recommendations, which include:

  • Showing total number of results returned (i.e., not just the number per page)
    • This work may be a bit more complex, but engineering investigation would probably need to be done
  • Updating empty states
    • This is probably more straight-forward to do from a technical perspective

We should make them separate tickets.

Follow-up tickets created, so this work can now be marked as done: T423353 and T423352.
