Description

A message popup is a small modal window containing a warning, error message, help text or other important information

Usually it appears on user's action (e.g. clicking help icon) and it must be dismissed by the user

Types

Usage & Behaviour

General guidelines

• The popup may contains these elements:

  • Header, including a title (e.g. "Warning") and a closing icon
  • Icon (e.g. question mark icon for help)
  • The message text
  • Primary action button (usually OK)
  • Secondary action button (usually Cancel, when relevant)
  • Don't show this again checkbox
• For basic popup usage and behaviour see Popups

Best practices

• The message popup is more intrusive than a toast. Use it only for important messages (or long messaged in the case of help)
• Keep the title short and informative
• Keep the message text short and informative
