Background

When we first asked users they said they would like the label to be completely removed, but I am concerned that the UI might not be fully responsive (i.e. when a field is not displayed, there should be no empty white space displayed in its place). When a name-value pair is not displayed will an empty white space still be displayed because the position of the fields have been hardcoded/fixed in position? 

Currently our implementation is inconsistent. For example, the following fields for an agreement:

  • "Description" - the field name is displayed with white space underneath.
  • "Cancellation deadline", "Renewal priority" and "Is perpetual" - the field name is displayed with a hyphen underneath.


Options

  • Remove entirely from screen?
  • Display the label and a hyphen?
  • In an MCL show white space or hyphen?

Action items

  • Make a decision - do we show empty fields or not?
  • Review Agreements and Licenses and apply the rule.
