Progress indicator out of order returnable

progress-indicator-out-of-order-returnable

Progress indicator is for out-of-order, returnable tasks (tax return / driver’s licence). Named states: `todo` / `doing` / `done`. Dual-cite USWDS linear step indicator and GOV.UK “test without a progress indicator”; do not collapse into one progress widget.

Description

Progress indicator is for out-of-order, returnable tasks (tax return / driver’s licence) with named states todo / doing / done. Dual-cite USWDS linear step indicator and GOV.UK “test without a progress indicator”; do not collapse into one progress widget. Pass when non-linear returnable tasks use the GOLD indicator with those states and linear wizards are not forced into it; fail when a linear one-way wizard uses this GOLD indicator, or todo/doing/done is collapsed with USWDS linear / GOV.UK no-indicator into one house widget.

When to use

Non-linear returnable tasks like tax return or driver’s licence flows.

Not when

Forcing linear one-way wizards into this GOLD out-of-order widget.

Agent hint

Use todo/doing/done for returnable non-linear tasks; keep linear cites separate.

Pass

Non-linear returnable tasks use the GOLD indicator with todo/doing/done; linear wizards are not forced into this widget (USWDS linear / GOV.UK test-without remain dual-cites).

Fail

A linear one-way wizard is this GOLD out-of-order indicator, or todo/doing/done is collapsed with USWDS linear / GOV.UK no-indicator into one house widget.
