The Field Reference table sucks

Open dezzie opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

By the time the actual table comes around, we've subjected users to

  • too many acronyms
  • links to "optional" readings

The table itself lacks

  • usable definitions for each field
  • calls to action

NEATO: We received feedback that people were going to the Explore Page of the HMDA website to look at the definitions of fields there because they were better.

Proposed fixes:

  • [ ] Bring in the definitions from the Explore page and fold them into the table...some fields won't map out right but we'll figure it out then.
  • [ ] Bring in the plain language names from the Explore page too
  • [ ] Maybe the field page needs to come earlier in the nav?

#24 This diminishes the usefulness of expanding on query language.

Can we beef this up and make it part of the API itself or at least a separate json file?
