VxFlex OS GUI conventions
This section describes conventions used in the VxFlex OS GUI, including alert
indicators and color codes.
Alerts indicators
The Alerts indicators show the overall error state of the system. When lit, indicators
show the number of active alerts of each severity. Similar indicators are displayed in
some views of the Backend table, and also on Property Sheets (in some cases, an
additional blue indicator for information only is included). You can view details about
the alerts active in the system in the Alerts view. For more information about Alerts,
see "Alerts view" and "VxFlex OS Alerts in SNMP, VxFlex OS GUI, REST, and ESRS".

Color codes
Color codes provide quick visual feedback on the status of various objects in the
system. The following tables summarize the colors used in the system, and their
meaning. The color codes are used in a variety of elements and views in the user
interface.
