Intro

Multi-message handling provides an overview of multiple messages, showing the type and number of messages, along with an action link to open a multi-message handling detail view in a bottom sheet (compact) or a popover (regular).

Anatomy

A. Header

The header contains the title, total number of messages, and a button to collapse the detail view.

B. Filter (Optional)

The filter is used to filter different types of messages.

C. Header Cell (Optional)

The header cell of a certain category of messages displays the number of messages and an optional “Clear” button to dismiss all the messages of this type.

The banner shows further message details. The link in the banner can navigate the user to the location of the table view cell or form cell with the error. See Banners for more details.

Behavior and Interaction

Expanding the Detail View

Dragging the handle expands or minimizes the size of the modal sheet (compact).

Scrolling: If there are more messages beyond the screen, scrolling is enabled to view all of them.

Collapsing the Detail View

Tapping on the “Close” icon button in the header or anywhere outside of the modal or popover collapses the detail view.

Adaptive Design

On compact screens, the multi-message handling detail view is shown in a bottom modal, while on regular screens, it appears in a popover. When the detail view is opened on a compact screen, the banner is automatically folded and reappears when the detail view is collapsed.
