The main issue we found is that the inline alert is not shown prominently enough, due to its size and location. And it is easy to be overlooked by the user who is away for a few seconds.

I know in some cases designers put the alerts in the main content area (see attachment), when there is an immediate alert after the user does something on a page. But how do we deal with the global notification, if we want something different from PatternFly? Has anybody designed something similar to Mac's notification on the right?

Hi Josephine,

Here is a screenshot of how upstream OpenStack handles global notifications today…

Not that it’s the best solution (the content can especially be improved), but it allows errors/warnings/information to stack up. I think they stick around for 5 seconds unless the user closes them. I find this very similar to the mac notifications you mentioned.

Let me know if you’d like to chat any further about this design.

Thanks,
Liz
