Indicators

Usage​

Definition​

Indicators are labels which convey small amounts of information such as a status, in a variety of visual forms, and can use color to communicate meaning.

Indicators have either one or two states, and may have an optional tool tip. They are not used to navigate to additional content.

Common Characteristics​

All indicators have ALL-CAPS labels, or an icon.

All indicators are single-state (show/hide), or two-state (on/off).

Single-State Indicators​

Single-state indicators are displayed in the UI when relevant, and hidden when not.

Flags​

Flags are best used for words, not acronyms, and do not have tooltips.

Flags can be displayed horizontally with content, or diagonally over content. Any single item may have up to two horizontal flags, and/or one diagonal flag.

icon badges Flags can be used horizontally or diagonally

Icon Badges​

Icon badges are visually identical to icon text buttons, but the only interaction is to display a tooltip on hover or tap.
