| == Purpose ==
| |
| A ''message panel'' is a small pop-up panel shown at top of the current form that informs users of a non-critical problem or special condition. The panel shows information on four levels indicated by different colors and icons, and provides standard action that users might want to initiate.
| |
| | |
| == Examples ==
| |
| | |
| == Guidelines ==
| |
| * Use message panel in cases of non-critical problems that user can solve.
| |
| ** Use ''positive feedback'' (aka error) to notify about user-initiated processes, e.g. to indicate completion of background tasks
| |
| ** Use ''negative feedback'' as a secondary indicator of failure, e.g. if a transaction was not completed successfully
| |
| ** in discussion: <font color="blue">Show the information on a warning level in case of relevant information that do not concern the current workflow, e.g. No Internet connection available.</font>
| |
| ** Use ''opportunistic interaction'' (aka notification) to acknowledge the user about options that he or she might be interested in, e.g. Remember password?
| |
| * Display the information immediately.
| |
| * Auto remove a message when the problem is resolved or special condition is removed.
| |
| * Do not auto remove the panel if users can't continue until the problem is resolved.
| |
| * When users dismiss the panel, do not display any other UI or start any other side effect.
| |
| * Do not add additional controls to the message panel.
| |
| * Consider to show a [[Projects/Usability/HIG/Notifications|notification]] if Information does not concern the actual workflow.
