Mortise Test Per Week: Notification content does not disappear automatically.

By Karl Groves |

TIMEOUTS-05: Notification content does not disappear automatically.

How to test

  • Identify instances of notification content (e.g. toast banners), and confirm that they do not disappear automatically.

    • Exceptions

    • The user has the ability to turn of the auto-disappearing behaviour.
    • The notifications are part of a real-time event or are essential to the activity.

    How to fix

    Consider removing any time limits on notification content, and have it permanently displayed with a manual close button. Otherwise, provide a means for users to turn off the auto-disappearing behaviour.
