How to inform the user that the number shown in a list is incomplete or might not be current?
Consider this card shown below:
It's a card with a list view showing the total income by teams. Now most of these teams have secondary teams under them. And many times the actual number of one of the teams could missing, pending or known to be incorrect. For a user who is looking at this card for information, how can I indicate that some numbers are incorrect or incomplete?
Some solutions and their drawbacks:
Warning Icons next to the number
Issues:
- The icons is used in the app to indicate major warnings everywhere. Some might consider this a big deal. Whereas, the incompleteness is just temporary
Flag icon
Issues:
- List item
Its not actually a flagged item.
Coloring the number
Issues: Users might consider these numbers to hold more weight than the others. This could skew a few decisions.
Welcome all suggestions and questions. Thank you.
