Alert Examples

We have many types of alert messaging. Below are examples of each type and where they might surface.

Example of an in-line field alert

These alerts show when a form field throws an error after validation fails.

This type of alert is triggered when an action - or series of actions - fail and require attention from the user before that action can be completed. An example would be when a user tries to save with incomplete data.

Example of a modal alert - verify action

This type of alert is triggered when an action is not easily reversable and requires user to verify they want to follow through with selected action. An example would be when a user tries to copy a product.

Example of a modal alert - 401

This type of alert is triggered when the user's session has expired after 10 minutes of inactivity. It requires the user to log back in to keep working. You cannot close the modal without completing the login. NOTE: The alert 'Incorrect username or password' only shows if either the username or password data submitted fails. There are also in-line field alerts if the user tries to submit the form with empty fields.

  • Will have a specific date or field selection if all items have matching values for these fields.
  • Some fields will have a 'Clear all [form label] values'. If user selects this action, it will clear the pre-existing value from that field within the UI, showing it as 'Value removed', and then completely clear that value from each of the bulk edited items upon save.
  • Whether you clear using the 'Clear all [form label] values' link or by highlighting and deleting the text yourself, the result would be a field that says 'Value removed'. Multiple values are represented by non-manipulable text, which forces us to use the clear link if we want to remove the values in that field for the set. In either case, if the field is showing as 'Value removed' when the save is completed, those values will no longer exist.

Status No Product status across all Lexmark sales channels.

NOTE: If any of the bulk items are currently assigned an 'Obsolete' status, a new status selected during the bulk edit will not be applied to those items.

    • If 'Multiple Values' throws an error because 1 or more items are missing a date, then the error message should say "An announce date is required. One or more selected products do not have an 'Announce Date' set. Any updates to 'Announce Date' will overwrite any existing announce dates for the currently selected products."
    • If all items are missing a date, then the error message should say “An announce date is required.”
    • If the 'Clear all' action for this field is selected, and a date is still required because of the status selection, the error reads: "An announce date is required."

    • If all items are missing a date, then the error message should say “An obsolete date is required.”
    • If the 'Clear all' action for this field is selected, and a date is still required because of the status selection, the error reads: "An obsolete date is required."
