DGA reporting month page iteration

We previously designed a page to view the DGA reporting month.

We’ve iterated the page as part of a wider redesign of DGA reporting.

What we changed

Removed status tags from police forces

The previous design showed a status tag next to each police unit. They were:

Not started
In progress
Completed

We removed the tags because they were unnecessary.

The state of each unit is already clear from the content below the heading — either a count of outstanding cases with a button, or a confirmation that all outcomes have been recorded.

Replaced status tags with specific counts and actions

For police forces with outcomes still to record, the page now shows exactly how many cases need attention and a “Record dispute outcomes” button.

The button links to the case list, pre-filtered to show only that police force’s cases with outstanding DGA outcomes. This is a significant change from the previous design, which linked to a dedicated DGA case list embedded within the reporting hub. Reusing the case list means users work in a consistent way.

For police forces where all outcomes have been recorded, the page shows inset text confirming the count - for example, “Outcomes have been recorded for all 26 cases.” - with a link to view those cases in the filtered case list.

The February 2026 month view. The deadline is shown at the top: "Outcomes must be recorded by 10 April 2026 at 11:59pm." Metropolitan Police shows 37 cases needing outcomes with a "Record dispute outcomes" button. Thames Valley Police shows 2 cases needing outcomes with a "Record dispute outcomes" button. West Midlands Police shows an inset: "Outcomes have been recorded for all 26 cases. View cases that failed DGA."

Added a deadline passed state

When the deadline for a month has passed, the page now reflects this clearly.

The heading area shows when the deadline passed - for example, “The deadline for recording outcomes passed on 11 January 2026 at 11:59pm.”

For units where outcomes were not recorded before the deadline, an inset shows how many cases were missed - for example, “Outcomes were not recorded for 10 out of 10 cases before the deadline.” - alongside a link to view those cases.

Units that completed recording before the deadline continue to show the completion confirmation.

The November 2025 month view. The deadline passed message reads: "The deadline for recording outcomes passed on 11 January 2026 at 11:59pm." Metropolitan Police shows an inset: "Outcomes have been recorded for all 20 cases. View cases that failed DGA." Thames Valley Police shows an inset: "Outcomes were not recorded for 10 out of 10 cases before the deadline. View cases that failed DGA."
