Semantic

Semantic messaging

"Semantic" refers to the meaning and purpose behind the design elements. For alert notices, this means each type of alert conveys a specific message through its style and context. The available options are neutral, guidance, success, and attention. Select the appropriate semantic type based on the nature of the message you want to communicate.

Four page notices stacked with the 4 semantic variants including information, attention, confirmation, and general.
