Usage guidelines outline how the component should and shouldn’t be used in different user interface contexts.
When to use
- Communicating predefined status of entities (Deployment Targets and Workers)
When not to use
- Communicating status of non-entities (use Badge instead)
- Tagging items with user-generated content (use Tags instead)
Best practices
Do place the Status Badge in the vicinity of the object its referring to.
Do use an icon-only Status Badge in areas where it appears repeatedly (e.g. tables).
Don’t change the status icon.
Don’t change the status label explaining the status type.
Don’t add tooltips.
Don’t use multiple Status Badges to communicate status of a single item.
