What should we put in notification’s text ?
In Default, the title can be a catch phrase or a sum up of the content, to give the user an idea of what the alert is about, it doesn’t need to be a long message, juste a simple phrase. The title can contain a maximum of 30 characters.
-
For example : “Your action has been successfully registered” is enough for a success message, but also “This action has been done, in result...” can be use in a warning notification.
The purpose of the description is to highlight the issue for the user, it could also provide to him a solution. Simple and generic message should be avoided as they are overused and does not help the user. Here the description can support a maximum of 100 characters.
- For example : messages like “something went wrong”, or “this doesn’t work” without further explanation about the problem are to be avoided. The goal is to notify the user and help him fix the potential issues.
