Users can turn off alert types
users-can-turn-off-alert-types
Users can turn off all alert types — products should allow this for people who need to focus.
Description
Spectrum expects products to let users turn off alert types so people who need to focus can silence non-essential noise. A system with no off switch traps users in constant interruptions. Offer per-type or equivalent controls for discretionary alerts; do not treat this as permission to hide critical blocking failures that the user must resolve.
When to use
Shipping toast or alert systems with configurable notification types.
Not when
Critical blocking errors or legal notices that must remain mandatory.
Agent hint
Provide a way for users to turn off alert types when they need to focus.
Alert types can be turned off.
No way to turn off alert types.
