Work Area drawer — Decision-first v2

Round 1 compared three drawer structures; Decision-first was selected ("Decision-first seems right"). This page now leads with the v2 deep dive — dates promoted to an always-visible band, a confirm that reads in two seconds, discipline cells that open a stacked child drawer, and a per-discipline review history that survives the June → September re-survey reality. The round-1 exploration is kept at the bottom for reference. All data is real fixture data; the only static mock is the September re-survey (flagged in the data-model note).

Decision-first — v2 deep dive

  • Dates up high. Notification · Clearance visit · Planned start (+ Blocked until when relevant) render as a compact band directly under the header — decision inputs, not detail.
  • A two-second confirm. The provisional banner is now one slim line — observation ID · "within buffer · est. through Jul 24" · a compact Confirm block inline.
  • Disciplines open a stacked child drawer. Each board cell is a button that opens that discipline's own drawer over the parent (the permit workspace's segment → editor stacking) — not tabs, not one long form.
  • Review history per discipline. The child drawer holds every review — clearance survey, re-survey, management determination — newest first. The latest completed review sets the board status; future reviews ride the history as scheduled. Cells show a count when there is more than one. Survey records live here now, not in a parent section.

6/3 email: This DH is located in a gravel work pad. It was moved slightly to be placed outside of a dry roadside ditch and to be situated further from the railroad tracks. There are several large trees, and waterways nearby, but the site is situated in an area that is highly disturbed. A few elderberry shrubs are near the entrance to the road, but they are greater than 165' away.

The discipline child drawer — stacked over the parent

DCTR2-DH-010 · clicking the Biological cell (count "2") opens its review history as a child drawer stacked over the parent — the parent slides aside and dims behind it, exactly as the permit workspace stacks its permit editor over the segment drawer.

    Active SWHA nest within the 0.5-mile no-disturbance buffer — discovered during the site clearance visit.

How to evaluate v2

  1. From a cold open, how fast do you know whether work can start — and what the single next action is?
  2. Are the dates you decide with — notification, visit, planned start, blocked-until — visible without opening anything?
  3. Does the stacked discipline drawer keep you oriented to the parent site?
  4. Is a June → September re-survey history legible at a glance?
  5. Where does a pasted field-biologist email note go, and could you find it again a week later?

Round 1 exploration (reference)

The three structural options as first presented — Decision-first (option 1) was selected and is developed at the top of the page. Kept for the record of what each structure prioritized.

1Decision-first

The top half answers one question: can work start — and if not, what single action moves it?

Prioritizes

  • The manager's go/no-go decision, with the ONE next action promoted to a real button
  • A four-cell discipline board you can scan in a second

Trades away

  • Ambient detail — conflicts, surveys, notes, dates and activity collapse until asked for

2Discipline workspace

One discipline at a time, at full depth — the drawer is a segmented workspace, not a stack.

Prioritizes

  • Per-discipline depth: status, dates, reviewer, notes and survey record in one panel
  • Clean per-discipline editing — add/edit/remove scoped to the open panel, no long form
  • A thin rollup strip keeps the site-level answer and the live conflict always in view

Trades away

  • Whole-site glanceability — you visit four panels to read everything

3Lifecycle / checklist

The work area is a pipeline — Notification → Survey → Determinations → Outcome → Work start — and every fact, conflict and edit lives at its step.

Prioritizes

  • Temporal clarity: where are we, what's next, what's late — dates on every step
  • Conflicts surface where they belong: the buffer conflict at Determinations, the start-before-review clash at Work start
  • Inline edits at the step — no separate edit mode

Trades away

  • Dense at-a-glance status across disciplines; the pipeline runs tall
