Message Types and Use

If possible, a single line message should appear in the status line position.

Single line messages in red and green can go into the message line, because the user already knows where the system drops a message. So he does not need to look for a different position.
User Concern Type Importance Workflow Single/Multiline Color Border Example
User is infromed about what is displayed and what ist the current status of the system Info Useful, but can be ignored Not affected Single Black None 108 Items (descending sorted by Modification Date)
User needs to provide/correct something for the system to fulfil the task Error Critical, can not be ignored Affected Multiline Red Yes
The system has done something wrong, but can continue Warning Only important if work is lost Not affected Single Red Yes
The system has done something wrong and stops working Error Important, because all further work is lost Affected Multiline Red Yes
The user has completed his work successfully and everything is fine Success Important, because user is finished Affected Single Green No
