Errors and alerts are critical components of any user interface, providing essential feedback to help users navigate their workflows. Whether a form validation issue or a system-wide problem, these messages are crucial in guiding users toward a successful outcome.
The design system outlines clear guidelines for when and how to use different types of error and alert messages. Errors identify and explain critical information that users must address before proceeding, while alerts convey non-critical information that may help prevent future errors. Depending on the nature of the issue, these messages can appear at the element level, container level, page level, or even globally.
The error and alert guidelines aim to foster a seamless, efficient, and ultimately successful user experience. By prioritizing clear communication and proactive problem-solving, the design system equips teams with the tools to build interfaces that prioritize the user.
