Issue Description

What details are necessary for understanding the specific work or request tracked by this issue?

The EDM team is info about reimbursement rates for national tests and for licenses and certifications into the School Comparison tool. The different types of data being added to the Comparison tool need different search and display controls, so as part of this project they're collaborating with the GovCIO team to convert the current School Comparison tool URL into a landing page, where users can choose which type of data they want to look at. There will be three categories - Licenses and certifications data which will be a search+results format, National tests which will be a list, and the current School comparison search+results which will now have the Yellow ribbon data integrated into it. (For more on the Yellow Ribbon changes, see the Yellow ribbon tool content changes ticket and IA Spec.)

We are working on controlling scope on this project. The team has received this, along with a framework to guide their content/IA decisions inside the tool: "On this project, CAIA IA support will be focused on the connections between the Comparison Tool and the rest of va.gov. We are not able to support IA and Content decisions within the tool Landing page or sub-pages."

Entry points

Secondary entry points

Any additional locations that the page should be navigable from such as the "About a form" page, additional navigation component (top, left) placements, additional static pages where its prominently linked from, etc. These are secondary, and while they are still very important, are not required for launch.

• Notes: Editing a single location updates the promo spot in both the Mega menu and Right rail.
  

2. Right rail of Education hub page - Modifications TBD -

Tasks

• IA works with product team and CAIA writer to identify entry points and suggested crosslinks
• IA documents plan in IA Spec in the IA Spec folder on github
• IA adds the IA spec to the intake ticket for the product team, tags Lily/Megan
• Lily ensures IA spec is included in content entry point ticket for Megan
• Lily confirms whether work requires a writer (or if writer is already involved), or SME review. Criteria: Any surrounding content change besides replacing PDF link with online form link
• Content writer notifies Megan/Chelsea when it’s time to implement
• If staged rollout: Content publishes the main static page or landing page with the react widget and DOES NOT implement entry points or crosslinks.
• Once a product is launched to 100% of users (staged rollout or not), content will take out the widget and put the rest of the entry points/crosslinks in in Drupal and publish.
• Publish
• Megan or Chelsea will add Kristin or Jenny as an assignee to the entry point ticket
• Content will let IA know final decisions on crosslinks and why, so IA can document
• IA will check live site for accuracy of implementation, compared to IA spec
• Kristin OR Jenny will update sitemaps with color coding to show product/change was implemented

Acceptance Criteria

• Updated pages are live
• IA review complete
• Sitemaps update
