The message strip is a control that is used as an information bar. It contains information about an object or a status and can be embedded within the detail area of an object or page.

Usage

Use the message strip if:

• You want to provide information within the detail area of an object.
• You want to inform your user about a status of an object.
• You want to warn your user about an issue.

Do not use the message strip if:

• You want to display information within the object page header, within a control, in the master list, or above the page header.

Responsiveness

Types

Behavior and Interaction

Static behavior

The message strip acts as an information bar. If you want to display a status related to an object, keep the interaction static and do not show the Close button.

Interactive behavior

Clicking the   Close button on the right-hand side hides the message strip.

Accessibility

When an application adds a message strip dynamically, also notify screen reader users.

Use the following structure for the screen reader notification text:

“New information bar of type <Error / Warning / Success / Information>: <text of message>”

To avoid an endless screen reader announcement, send a short message summary with only the most relevant information.
