Success Messages

      +

      A lot of our success messages tend to focus on a thing or task completing.

      Use the Name of What Was Created

      Where possible, try to be explicit about the name of the thing that was created.

      For example:

      Created Search index {INDEX_NAME}.

      Do Not Use "Successfully"

      Avoid successfully or other adverbs ending in -ly to describe how something was done in the UI.

      Reword the success message to be more active and focus on the thing that was done.

      For example:

      Created backup.
      Created new user {USER_NAME}.
