Notifications draw the user’s attention to warnings or important information such as status changes. They can be assigned to specific elements or be valid globally. The nature and urgency of the information are made clear via the shape, colour and position.

Wide-area notifications may use only the brand colours and grey shades as a background colour. However, they cannot use the signal colours. Notification badges, by contrast, can use both the signal and charging colours.

Global Alerts

Global alerts extend across the entire viewport width and can contain text, icons, images and interactive elements such as buttons or system icon buttons. Buttons can be adapted in height if required so as to keep the alert visually slim.

 

Global alerts can be positioned in different ways:

  • statically at the upper end of the page (disappears during scrolling)
  • fixed at the upper or lower edge of the viewport (remains in the viewport during scrolling)

 

Global alerts are suitable for:

  • Feedback of high short-term importance such as feedback on the success or failure of an action triggered by the user. The alert can be discarded by the user and/or automatically hidden after a certain time.
  • Warnings and messages the user must take note of, such as cookie notices or warnings about important deadlines. The alert can be discarded by the user.
  • Important warnings that require immediate action. This type of warning cannot be discarded and is not hidden until the problem in question has been solved.

Container Alert

Container alerts differ from global alerts only to the extent that they refer to a section on a page and are positioned within this section – or container. The container may be a card or a section of a page, for example. They are suitable for displaying alerts of local significance on summary views. The user must not always be able to immediately dismiss them.

Overlay Notification

Toast notifications appear in the upper or lower corner of the right-hand viewport margin. They are particularly suitable for time-sensitive live notifications. They can contain the same elements as global alerts. The user can discard them, or they are automatically hidden after a certain length of time.

Badge

Badges are a supporting information element for a specific piece of information. They show the status of this element or content saved with the element. They are suitable for tasks such as referring to unread messages in inboxes, active charging or the availability of charging stations.


Generic Badge

The generic badge is always used in signal red. The aim is to attract the user’s attention. In contrast to the signal badge, it can be used to display one or a total of several notifications. They are suitable for tasks such as referring to unread messages in inboxes, unanswered calendar invitations or unseen content in feeds.

Generic Badge Small

The generic badge small is a filled-in circular element in signal red and is a variation of the generic badge. It serves the same purpose, but can be used for more specific use cases and without showing the number of notifications within the badge. You should ensure that the badge always refers to the information to be emphasised (icon or text). It can be placed to the left or right of the information.

Signal Badge Small

Signal badges are used to show a status or notification that falls into one of the following categories:

  • OK (signal green, circular shape): Positive notification/status, show status or confirm status.
  • Warning (signal yellow, rhombus shape): Warning notification/status, display of a “pending” status or a critical state.

  • Warning (signal red, triangular shape): System-critical notification, refers to a charging station being out of order, an error that can affect a feature or cause damage. 

Signal badges are always combined with black or white informational text and are only available in one size.

Audi UI Kit – Integration into Sketch library

(supported until 30.06.2023)

To ensure designers are using the most up-to-date components and icons in their products, the Audi UI Kit was created as a sketch library. Integrate these UI Kits to get the latest Audi Sketch Libraries. Updates will be made regularly and users will be informed when new versions of the Librarys are available.

 

The current Audi Sketch UI kit will only be supported until June 30, 2023. In order to enable the development of digital products in the future, we provide and update UI libraries for Figma.

Audi UI Kit for Figma

To enable as many designers as possible to work with the Audi user interface components the UI Kit and icons is also offered for Figma. Updates are made regularly and all changes are documented for users in the changelog.

We strongly recommend to join the Audi Figma Workspace for being always up-to-date and to collaborate with others.The Audi Design Kits are already included into the Figma teams in the Audi Workspace. To get access to a team or project please reach out to us here.

In case you are not working directly in the Audi Figma workspace you find the latest version as download below.
