Hi AppFactory Team, In order to give the user a comfortable and consistent user experience let's get our user feedback to follow a common format across all pages.
*Types of messages and Usage : * 1. Error messages : Should be used when the user is blocked from progressing on the current action. 2. Warning messages : Should be used to warn the user of a future failure 3. Info : Stating a fact - ideally which is not obvious 4. Success : To communicate success on an action performed - ideally which is not obvious 5. Confirmations : To confirm on an action which will do unrecoverable actions - e.g. delete resources *Language:* 1. Error / Warning messages: - Be specific with the error and corrective action - Should be relevant and leading to action 2. Info and Success messages: - If the action result is obvious then we should not provide additional feedback - e.g. a redirection or a listing is available post action. - If the action consists of an external event being triggered which the current user cannot verify - e.g. sending an email which the user needs to know - then feedback should be provided 3. General: - Be specific and clear - Grammar and Spell checked messages *Formats:* 1. Error : [Problem]+[Why]+[Remedial Action] 2. Warning : [Problem]+[Consequences]+[Remedial Action] 3. Info/Success: Confirmation + [Summary of action] The above is a list to start with. Please comment to add to/ modify this. Also, a quick way to get this rolling is to validate all feedback messages wrt to the context in the page you are currently working on, and, correct if required. - WDYT ?
