There are currently four header widgets for Search, Shopping Cart, Messages, and Notifications that can be used and customized. All of these widgets (except the search) have the ability to display a numeric badge as shown below

Show widgets in the header

Setting up the badge

To set up the badge value, open the widget_icon_actions reusable element and find a group called var - item count/unread. Go to the conditional tab to see placeholder conditional statements.

For example, if you want to display the unread messages count for a user, you'd need to update the conditional statement for 'Open messages widget' to a dynamic value that represents a number of things for the current user.

Specific element details

Notifications

Group name: Group Notifications Purpose: Display notifications to your users

This element contains a simple user interface for displaying unread messages or notifications. To use this UI, please replace all dummy data type with the data type you want to display (e.g., Messages or Notifications).

Add workflows to Button Mark as read, Group Select message, and Group view more.

Search

Group name: Group Search Purpose: Provide a convenient location for your users to search and view results

This focus group reusable element contains a simple user interface for searching for things. To use this UI, please replace all dummy data type with the data type you want to display (e.g., Files or products).

Shopping Cart

Group name: Group Cart Purpose: Display the items in the user's cart for easy review and checkout

This focus group reusable element contains a simple user interface for reviewing the items in your cart. To use this UI, please replace all dummy data type with the data type you want to display (e.g., Product or Cart items).

These widgets are already preconfigured in the Canvas header. You can set these up using an action when adding icons to any header.
