Definition
Modals, toasts, and tooltips are the shared interface conventions Rima uses everywhere: pop-up dialogs for focused actions, short notifications for action results, and hover help on controls.
What it is for
Knowing these three conventions makes every screen predictable: how to back out of a dialog, how to read and dismiss feedback, and where to find inline help.
How it works
- Modals close without submitting when you click Cancel, click the close icon, click outside the dialog, or press Escape where implemented.
- Toasts appear after actions such as save, delete, or run. They dismiss automatically, pause on hover where implemented, or close via their close control.
- Info icons next to controls (in project settings, schedules, variables, test groups, and extension validations) show a tooltip on hover or focus.
Example
While creating a project, a tester presses Escape to abandon the modal without saving, sees a toast confirm a later save, and hovers the info icon beside the schedule control to check what it does.
Common use cases
- Back out of a dialog without applying changes.
- Confirm that a save, delete, or run action succeeded.
- Dismiss or pause a notification while reading it.
- Get inline help on a setting without leaving the page.
Where to find it
Throughout the app: modals on the dashboard, project, organization, and profile pages; toasts on pages that run actions; tooltips on info icons beside controls.
Limitations, requirements, and permissions
- Closing a modal discards unsaved modal inputs; nothing is submitted.
- Dismissing a toast does not undo the action that produced it.
- Browser-native confirmation dialogs follow browser behavior, not the custom modal overlay.
- Tooltips are informational only.
