Notices and Workflow settings
Goal
Tune how runs report their progress, and the defaults for new workflows. Time: 5 minutes.
Notice cards
- One card per run, shown above the footer, with at most two in-progress cards. These are not OS notifications.
- The card appears when the run starts, updates as each block starts, and changes when the run fails or finishes.
- A success card disappears after 6 seconds. A failure card stays until you dismiss it. Open goes to that run.
- Progress isn’t shown while that run’s page is open.
- Control which cards appear for each workflow with the root
notices:key (see Stage 6).
