As a researcher/journalist, I want to quickly and easily identify the most recent filings near a filing deadline so that I can feel confident that I'm seeing all there is to see

Users looking at election summary pages might not notice that recent eFiling data does not show in processed data. As a first step, we're going to improve the language introducing our Processed and Raw data toggle.

• Develop new language for Processed
• Develop new language for Raw

This is a placeholder issue for longer-term design improvements to issues identified in https://github.com/18F/fec-cms/issues/1735#issuecomment-362743038

We are working to improve the descriptive language for the processed and raw data tabs. The main goal is to help users understand the differences and trade-offs when looking at/using the two data types.

Current drafts:

Processed

Processed data has been categorized by the FEC. It may not include the most recently submitted electronic filings. Raw data may show more recent filings.

Raw

Raw data comes from electronic filings as they are received by the FEC. It does not include paper filings and the data has not been categorized by the FEC. Processed data shows data that has been categorized.

I'm happy with both of these. What do you think, @PaulClark2 and @jwchumley ?

The proposed language works for me.

We've agreed on this language, so I'm closing this ticket. I'll come back and update it with the implementation ticket when I have it.
