When to use and when not to use
When to use
- Use badges for counts of important information, close to the relevant item.
- A dot badge notifies the user that something is new or updated without showing a count, such as an “unread report”, or activity notification. It may be useful as a less prominent badge, even when the count is known.
- Use badges to notify or draw attention to changed values or status.
- Use a “pop” animation style when badge numbers increase.
When not to use
- If you need a text label, use tags instead
