Better in-product help for Chrome Home |
||||||||||||
Issue descriptionWe should consider ways we can help users acclimatize to where the new features are with Chrome Home. We could explore strategies such as having "Bookmarks", "History", "Downloads" remain in the menu and forward users to the Chrome Home sheet.

Adding this for posterity: some cases where the IPH overlaps with other UI. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=728265 What's the timeline for this bug? (so we can plan for how to fix issues like the above in the interim).

+ Eng If we don't do the data saver update in M62, and just add "Where did my stuff go?" in the overflow menu in the same style as the custom tab text saying "Powered by Chrome" do you think we'd be able to get this change in my M62? Tapping on it would trigger the IPH bubble we currently have and I've cc'd Shimi to take a look at the string. Thanks!

Aug 25 2017
Should the menu item disappear after it's been tapped once or is it permanently available? Adding the data saver menu item at a fixed position was relatively easy because we already have most of the code, we would just have to plumb through a couple of extra things and plop it in. This doesn't look too challenging, but would be completely new code. With less than a week until branch, it feels a bit rushed. It's also hard to make the argument that this is "polish" and not a new feature and we are a week past feature freeze.
,
Aug 25 2017
It will be permanent for possibly a few milestones. Agreed that this isn't polish, but was a feature proposal to address a "bug" that users might not know where their bookmarks when per results of the dev/beta experiment that just came in...
,
Aug 25 2017
The menu item would be permanently available. Here's an updated set of mocks showing that it'd just present the existing IPH tooltip: https://folio.googleplex.com/bijou-cleer/170824-Onboarding I understand the timeframe feels really rushed. We should have raised this issue earlier. Does this seem basically not feasible for M62 at this point, or is there any possibility? The reason we're considering it despite the rush is that it could have some affect on our M62 experiment results.
,
Aug 25 2017
I agree that users not knowing where their items are is probably an issue, and we can definitely get this in for 63.. it just feels late for 62. I'll prototype this afternoon to get a better estimate of work/risk.
,
Aug 25 2017
+shaktisahu@ to comment on tying into IPH back end The prototype was pretty easy, so I think we have a shot at getting this into 62. See attached video. A couple of other questions: - Hannah/Chris, in the unlikely case the IPH bubble hasn't been shown before, should we count this as the 1 show (e.g. it wouldn't show again unless the user tapped the menu item)? - For Shakti, if we're showing the IPH bubble in response to a click on a menu item, should we tie into the IPH system somehow or can we just show the view directly?

"In the unlikely case the IPH bubble hasn't been shown before, should we count this as the 1 show (e.g. it wouldn't show again unless the user tapped the menu item)?" Yes, I think we should count it as the first show and not show it automatically.

Aug 25 2017
Sounds good! Another UX question, should the string be allowed to overflow 1-line if it needs to wrap?
,
Aug 25 2017
+ktam - any metrics for this? Maybe a user action when the item is clicked?
,
Aug 25 2017
Yes, text should overflow. Here's a detailed spec: https://folio.googleplex.com/bijou-cleer/170824-Onboarding/spec#%3Ff=hidden
,
Aug 25 2017
Theresa - I think we would have to directly show the IPH. We still have to call shouldTriggerHelpUI() on the IPH backend in order to avoid overlapping text bubbles. This is what I am thinking. 1- From ChromeTabbedActivity#onMenuOrKeyboardAction, we can call getBottomSheet().showHelpBubbleIfNecessary() 2- Since we use the IPH Tracker, it will take care of not showing the bubble next time, i.e. shouldTriggerHelpUI() would return false. 3- We can probably use Tracker#getTriggerState(feature) inside AppMenu in order to prevent the menu item from showing next time onwards.
,

Thanks for the quick response! For #3, the app menu item is permanently visible (at least for now). Since we want to show the help bubble in direct response to the user clicking a button, is it possible to dismiss all other help bubbles and then force the Chrome Home IPH to show? Will calling #shouldTriggerHelpUi() dismiss the other bubbles?
,
Aug 25 2017
All the bubbles get dismissed on touch interaction. So by the time we select this menu item, we would have automatically dismissed everything else. #shouldTriggerHelpUi() returns false if any other bubble is showing, so noone else can show their bubbles while chrome home bubble is still showing. Also in #showHelpBubbleIfNecessary(), we cant use tracker.addOnInitializedCallback, since we aren't showing on initialization any more (rather in response to menu selection). So we will use its contents directly instead.
,
Aug 26 2017
Also, does it mean every time we click the menu item, we would show the bubble? Do we want to stop after the user has opened the bottom sheet at least once? These all counts are finch configurable, so I guess we are fine.
,
Aug 26 2017
At least for now, I think it's preferable to make the menu item reliably present and functional, showing the tooltip every time it's tapped, even after they've opened the sheet. This accounts for the user gradually learning where features have been relocated; they may have previously accidentally opened the sheet or may have forgotten how to use it.

Sorry catching up with my threads but thanks for looking into this! > +ktam - any metrics for this? Maybe a user action when the item is clicked? Yes, a user action for getting clicked sounds good thanks!
,
Aug 26 2017
btw, Shimi, do you have any opinions on the string we place here? One potential concern I see is "What happened to my stuff?" might be a bit broad so users looking for something like History may not realize stuff refers to that as well.

Screenshots from in-flight CL. I'm going to send this out for review momentarily. I'll wait to land until srahim@ confirms the menu item wording.
,
Aug 28 2017
Tonally, we don't use "stuff" much in Chrome. This would be a bit of a departure from our current style. Some other ideas with the "Stuff" language: -"Where's my stuff?" > Has a bit more longevity than "where did...go", which assumes a user has switched and is comparing old Chrome to Chrome Home. -"Find your stuff" > A bit more action-oriented Some ideas to make this more like a menu item: -"Bookmarks & more" > Aligns more with product tone, rest of menu items, but might feel repetitive w/the IPH. It could be "Downloads & more" or "History & more", too. -"Bookmarks, downloads..." > Not great in terms of length, but most descriptive. -"History, downloads..." > same.
,
Aug 28 2017
Per discussion with srahim@, we'll go with the string: "Where are bookmarks, downloads, and history?" https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/document/d/1Mwy7yBwATvxppKrwJHpvDy33xj0ySga3i9iQotPdyT8/edit?usp=sharing

Theresa, you are an eng god for getting this out to fast!!!! Owe you one!!!! Just have one nice to have design polish (doesn't have to be for M62): but can we vertically center the "?" icon with in the grey row? (just to be consistent with our list styles). Thanks again for your wizardry here. I am just AMAZE.
,
Aug 29 2017
Thank you Hannah :) Chris, do you concur? The current spec (linked in #13) has the "?" icon at a fixed distance from the top of the menu regardless of how many lines of text there are (which equates to total row height).
,
Aug 29 2017
Yep, I'm happy to change to vertical centering if that's easily doable.
,
Aug 29 2017
Vertical centering is easy, screenshot attached. It turns out we do need to tie into the IPH backend to prevent a different bubble from showing up while ours is displayed. For example, if the user starts loading a slow page, then taps the menu item triggering the Chrome Home IPH, it's possible for another bubble to show up when the page finishes loading. See attached video. For M62, if we can't get the tie-in with the backend system before branch is that OK? As an aside, I turned on the IPH demos and noticed that the downloads IPH now points to Chrome Home. I think showing the user both the Chrome Home IPH and downloads IPH may be unnecessary. Maybe we shouldn't show the Chrome Home IPH if the downloads IPH has already been shown? Screenshot attached of the downloads IPH.
,
Aug 29 2017
Ah that's unfortunate. Is there any way to suppress other IPH from being shown while we have an IPH up?
,
Aug 29 2017
Not without tying into the IPH backend. It shouldn't be hard to add a new IPH feature and write the finch config. I'm going to try and get that in today. The question was a "worst case scenario, is this okay?" sort of question given how close we are to branch point.

The M62 work is done. I filed issue 760700 to track the backend changes needed for M63 and will leave this bug open for the additional changes needed in BottomSheet.java to tie into the IPH system once it's ready.

hannahs@/other UXers on the thread -- I'm working on connecting the menu header to the in-product help backend and wanted to call out some expected behavior. The IPH backend prevents more than one in-product help from showing at a time. That means that if a bubble is showing (e.g. for downloads home), when the user taps on the menu button the Chrome Home header won't show. There aren't very many in-product help bubbles, so this will be encountered very infrequently in the wild. I'm also working on fixing another bug (issue 767794) related to the hardware menu key. On devices with a hardware menu key, we need to guard against showing the IPH header when the toolbar isn't visible (e.g. because it's covered up by contextual search). If the user has the toolbar scrolled off screen or contextual search is scrolling and they trigger the app menu via the hardware menu button, then we will not show the IPH menu header.
