For use in MHV to VA Messages: The proposed component is a text variation that represents an unread message. The text will be bolded and have a blue dot next to it.
Purpose
This allows the use to easily parse through their message lists to identify the unread messages.
Usage
This component is used in the list view of the different folders within Messages
Behavior
There is nothing intractable` with this pattern save that when the message is opened the bolding and blue dot are removed from the list view.
The blue dot will have an aria tag that should read "unread message"
Guidance
I am not sure if this pattern is a one off for this specific feature or if needs to be added to the library, but we wanted to present it to the design team for further guidance.
Research (optional)
This pattern has been a part of multiple rounds of usability tests and has done well, although it has not been tested for accessibility.
