We are excited to share some new changes that are being rolled out starting this week for cloud customers: a notification refresh! This project includes:
Global query notification settings: a quicker way to disable/enable success & failure notifications for all queries in your app (including new queries)
Hey guys, we just enabled this feature for 100% of users! In addition to what is described in this post we also added an ability to move the position of your end-user notifications in the settings!
I am up for every update, however I see this one as not a great one. We were using notifications to display user pair code, which we were used to copy from the notification itself. However now the copy feature is not available as we are no longer able to select text in notification. Would it be possible to enable text highlighting in notifications?
This has been an awesome and much needed update, thank you
Do you plan on supporting the option to stack vertically vs. superimpose?
Some notifications are important to display for the user, at a glance, as confirmation of a significant action with some additional details/context. With the current functionality, though, any follow-up notifications cover up the previous notification until hover.
Good news! I pushed a fix for toasts to enable text highlighting.
Unfortunately, to trim down copy toasts in particular, the toast message has changed. So in your particular scenario, you wouldn't be able to copy user pair code, because the code won't be part of the toast message
I know you didn't ask for me specifically, but I can try answering this!
This is really valuable insight for why we'd want vertical stacking! Funny story: the original design was to show all toasts vertically, and it was a late decision (like, the week of launching) to superimpose the toasts, to reduce how much space they take up.
We currently don't have plans to support vertical stacking, but you describe a very compelling use case. I will record this and bring this up with the team. So no promises!
This has turned into an issue for one of my clients. The showNotification I am using for errors is getting hidden behind query success toasts and the users are wondering why their operation is failing. It took me a little while to understand what was happening so I don't expect less sophisticated users to grok the UX.
That's a really good point, how some actions fire multiple queries, leading to some failure notifications to be buried away! I'll bring this up with the team too
Same here!
The new stacking design causes confusion in the team that uses the UIs as it can hide the more necessary notifications with seemingly arbitrary ones. The old way was way easier. Now there is another thing to keep in mind when designing apps.
