Good practices

DO	DO
Use to display the number of hidden elements.	Use to display the number of specific items in list, category, page.

Examples:

	In tabs To be used in tabs to provide information on the number of items in the element. This provides a quick and clear order of measurement for the user, who doesn't have to waste time consulting an empty tab.
	In tabs (navigation) To be used in tabs (navigation) to warn of notifications/events. The counter can also be used to differentiate between tabs containing lists of items and tabs containing detail pages.
	In table/list Use in tables/lists to make visible items that cannot be displayed for lack of space. The counter then adopts a specific content "+(number of hidden elements)". Example: "+12 ".
