Hi everyone, I have a BFS review question.
Our page is a generate-only workflow (not a settings/resource edit page).
User flow:
- Enter text
- Choose some options
- Click Generate
In review, we got this feedback:
All forms that reasonably require saving actions must be integrated with the App Bridge Contextual Save Bar The CSB is used well on the xxx pages, however, it is not used on the Generate page
This is a screenshot I captured from an app that already achieved BFS (they passed BFS, and their generate page does not have a CSB).
Our flow is similar to theirs.
I am still confused about BFS expectations for this type of page.
My questions:
- Is CSB required for all forms, including generate-only forms?
- If CSB is required here, does Save need to persist intermediate inputs (even incomplete ones)?
- In our case, validation happens only at Generate time. Is it still expected that incomplete data must be savable?
- Is it acceptable to keep CSB only for true settings/edit pages, and keep generate pages as action-only without CSB?
Sometimes I feel that BFS lacks consistent standards. We learn UI and interaction patterns from apps that have already passed BFS; to be blunt, in some cases we even copied certain interfaces directly (since we’re using the same component library, and aside from the wording, the UI/interaction is almost the same), yet we still run into BFS review issues.
