Data catalogue prototype
Please note this is a prototype and does not contain real data
Iteration 2
What we did (MVP):
- User journey 1 Option 1 : Link from homepage to a hubpage with links to API information pages
- User journey 1 Option 2 : Hubpage when the list of API is more than the initially thought 3
- User journey 2 : When user search for API via the Global Search box
What we tested
- What terms users use to search in the global search box
- How user will get the endpoint for API
- What is the general API needs
- What key information needed on API page
- Whether user able to navigate to Data API from homepage
What we found
- 2 users we tested with, no one used the global search to look for API (therefore this further strengthen the findings from previous UR (refer iteration 1 notes))& managed to look for the link for Data API finder.
- One user looked for a link on the tiles of Inflation, he said he would expect the link to be where the link for Analysis and Data is
- Users would like the steps to get to the endpoint to kept minimum
- Users would like contact details within the API page
UR insights
Iteration 1
What we did (MVP):
- Option 1 : Link from homepage to a hubpage with links to API information pages
- Option 2 : Allowing users to search for API in the global search box
- Option 3 : Hubpage when the list of API is more than the initially thought 3
What we tested
- As an initial understanding we decided to do a survey / research to understand how user would navigate the homepage to 'find' API
What we found
- Heatmap findings 8th Feb 2024 : 11 Participants. 91% of participants who took part able to find / navigate the link on the homepage (Data API finder)
- Therefore for MVP - we have decided to concentrate Option 1 journey
