Contextual alerts

Purpose

Users need to be aware of important information related to their current activity.

Description

Contextual alerts are positioned above the area or form they relate to
They are often triggered by a user interaction
They can be closable and can have other action buttons or links.
Alerts with low importance (info or success) can close automatically after 5 seconds (if desired)
Alerts with high importance (warning or danger) should not close automatically, unless the situation has been resolved in some other way

Types:

Info alerts should be used when there are tips or information that a user can benefit from.
Success alerts should be used when an action was performed successfully.
Warning alerts should be used when an action is out of the ordinary or might not be desired.
Danger alerts should be used when the system has failed to perform an action, or when the user has made an error.

System notifications

Purpose

Users need to be aware of important information related to the system.

Description

System notifications appear in in the top right corner of the screen
They are usually triggered by events unrelated to the user’s interactions
They can be closable and can have other action buttons or links.
Notifications with low importance (info or success) can close automatically after 5 seconds (if desired)
Notifications with high importance (warning or danger) should not close automatically, unless the situation has been resolved in some other way
Optional .toast-footer can be added to further emphasize action buttons in system notifications

Types:

Info notifications can be used for general messages that aren’t particularly critical
Success notifications can be used for positive messages that don’t have a context to associate it with
Warning notifications can be used for messages that likely require attention
Danger notifications can be used for critical messages that require immediate attention
