Overview

A notification dot notifies the user that something is new or updated without showing a count, such as an "unread report", or activity notification. It may be useful as a less prominent notification, even when the count is known.

A notification dot will appear on an icon or close to the relevant item, often a label.

  1. On an icon
  2. Close to the relevant item

Size matters

The notification dot comes with two sizes for desktop, and one on mobile.

  1. Small notification dot
    For icon from 24px to 30px.
  2. Big notification dot (desktop only)
    For icon bigger than 30px.

Best practices

Bold text

  1. Unread
    Notification dot visible + text label in bold.
  2. Read
    No notification dot + text label in regular.

Icon minimum size

The minimum size of an icon is 2rem in mobile and 2.4rem in desktop.

Accessibility

Add role="status" or role="alert" depend of your needs on the notification dot:

  • status: A container whose content is advisory information for the user but is not important enough to justify an alert, often but not necessarily presented as a status bar.
  • alert: A message with important, and usually time-sensitive, information.

Don't forget the screenreader message ( show-for-sr ) inside the notification dot and on the title .
