New Contribute Flow: Potential for confusion when uploading "Import from url" type resources

Open takavarasha opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

Consider providing an explicit instruction for the user to enter a url in the URL box. Currently, the user is presented with a URL textbox with a label that reads "eg. http://example.com/population-jan-2011.json". Some users may not realise that they have to enter a url in that box. Instead, they may interpret it as an example to the kind of input that is expected in the File name textbox directly below the url textbox.

Hi @takavarasha , what do you think of the copy changes below?

for the URL text field change the copy from "eg. http://example.com/population-jan-2011.json" to

Enter URL eg. http://example.com/population-jan-2011.json

for file name text field change the copy from "File name" to

Enter file name eg. WFP_VAM_MarketMonitor_2016-03-31.csv

I think that works very well.
