Design Decisions

A place to document various Hub design decisions for reference

Process#

  1. Create a github issue in iQ.design.system.docs by roughly following the design decision template and tag the appropriate people or teams
  2. Discuss and reach a decision; determine what platforms the decision impacts: web and/or mobile
  3. Create a pull request by filling the design decision template and saving it under a unique ddxxx_reference and name
  4. Document arguments for and against each option discussed as well as the decision made
  5. Link the decision file to the table below using the unique dd_reference; add platform tags web and/or mobile
  6. Request a final review of documented decision from the appropriate people or teams
  7. Merge the pull request
