Description
Purpose
Standard Alerts provide information about actual or imminent consequences of a recent input within the context the input happened in.
Composition
There are four main types of Standard Alerts each is displayed in the according color:

  • Failure Standard Alert: The system failed to complete some actions and displays some information about the failure (brand-danger). In forms these Failure Standard Alerts are always accompanied by Validation Pointers: The Failure Standard Alert on top of the screen and the Validation Pointers scattered across the form to point users to the location that raises the issue.
  • Success Standard Alert: The system succeeded in finishing some action and displays a success message (brand-success).
  • Info Standard Alert: The system informs the user about obstacles standing in the way of completing a workflow or about side-effects of his or her actions on other users.
  • Confirmation Standard Alert: The system needs input from the user (usually inside an Interruptive Modal).
