Notifications have an urgency level associated with them. This defines
|
||||||
|
the importance of the notification. For example, "Your computer is on
|
||||||
|
fire" would be a critical urgency. "Joe Bob signed on" would be a low
|
||||||
|
urgency.

Developers must use their own judgement when deciding the urgency of a
|
||||||
|
notification. Typically, if the majority of programs are using the same
|
||||||
|
level for a specific type of urgency, other applications should follow
|
||||||
|
them.

Server implementations may use urgency information how they see fit.
|
||||||
|
Possible implementations may keep critical notifications on the screen
|
||||||
|
until the user manually closes them, which is our recommendation. However,
|
||||||
|
there are no user interface guidelines in this area.
