Neutral Variant
The neutral variant is the default for inline notifications. It is gray and does not have an icon. This is used for when the notification is neutral in tone or when its semantics do not fit any of the other variants.
Data Display
Inline Notification
Inline notifications display a non-modal notification associated with objects in a view. These are often used in form validation, providing a place to aggregate feedback related to multiple fields.
Examples
Notification title
Message
Options
Informative Variant
The informative variant uses the informative semantic color (blue) and has an "information" icon to help those with color vision deficiency discern the notification tone. This should be used when the notification needs to call extra attention, as compared to the neutral variant.
Positive Variant
The positive variant uses the positive semantic color (green) and has a "checkmark" icon to help those with color vision deficiency discern the notification tone. This should be used to inform someone of a successful function or result of an action they took.
Notice Variant
The notice variant uses the notice semantic color (orange) and has an "alert" icon to help those with color vision deficiency to discern the notification tone. This can be used to warn about a situation that may need to be addressed soon.
Negative Variant
The negative variant uses the negative semantic color (red) and has an "alert" icon to help those with color vision deficiency to discern the notification tone. This can be used to show an error or a failure, or to convey something that needs to be immediately acknowledged or addressed.
Behaviors
Text Overflow
When the title of an inline notification is too long for the available horizontal space, it wraps to form another line. The optional icon in the corner stays aligned to the top.
