FAQ
- Do I still need to include an inline error with my alert?
An alert is shown at the top of the page with a summary errors on the page that the user needs to fix before proceeding to the next step. Inline errors should still appear directly below the fields that need attention. Read more about inline alerts in our error guidelines.
- Can I place my alerts on the page contextually?
Alerts should always be placed at the top of the page (see usage examples on the left). If your messages are intended to be placed contextually, consider whether it is an alert that requires validation, or an informational banner.
- How do I show an alert for a service that is down or unavailable?
For use-cases such as:
- User is not eligible for a service
- A service is not offered online, only at a branch
- Transfer fails
Use a full-page alert when a journey comes to an end. See an example in our error messages guidelines.
