Error reports: UI hides actions and does not follow UI standards

See original GitHub issue

The error reporting UI hides links and actions for ID History and privacy notice The user does not know what can be clicked or activated.

Avoid duplicates

  • This enhancement request has not already been raised before
  • Unknown if apple problem. I have only an Android phone. I did look and there is no similar bug in the documentation repo.

Current Implementation

  1. menu -> app information
  2. click error reports
  3. scroll to bottom of UI

Only the Start button is clickable. Nothing else is visually clickable or actionable. There are 8+ paragraphs of text on this UI. The UI must follow UI standards to indicate what is clickable/actionable.

Suggested Enhancement

  1. menu -> app information
  2. click error reports
  3. scroll to bottom of UI
  4. ID History uses the “further indicator” to lead the user to activate it for a list of IDs
  5. Privacy notice is underlined indicating a link to content.

Good examples…

Expected Benefits

  • Less user confusion. A user in this section of the app wants to help. But the lack of standard UI guidelines hides functionality and leads to user confusion and/or abandon.
  • Faster turnaround/escalation. When the functionality is not hidden, then the user can quickly report the error. Since this is a live service related to country-wide healthcare, timely reporting of problems is relevant.
  • Less support resources/humans. Escalation to support/github because of the hidden functionality consumes further human resources.

In https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-wishlist/issues/523 I included the following sentence under “Suggested Enhancement”:

Stop the error report after sending it and point out to the ID-history where he/she can find the relevant ID.

The error reports UI in general should be improved.
