# Feature: #101174 - Native enum InformationStatus {#feature-101174-1688128233}

See [forge#101174](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/101174)

## Description {#description}

A new native backed enum `\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Toolbar\InformationStatus`
has been introduced as a drop-in replacement for the for former
`\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Toolbar\Enumeration\InformationStatus` class. It
is used to specify the severity of a system information, displayed in the
backend toolbar.

The new enum features the following values:

-   `NOTICE`
-   `INFO`
-   `OK`
-   `WARNING`
-   `ERROR`

Additionally, the `isGreaterThan()` method is available to compare severities.

## Impact {#impact}

It's now possible to use the native `\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Toolbar\InformationStatus`
enum to describe the severity of the system information for the backend toolbar.

> [!NOTE]
> Compared to the [deprecated](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:deprecation-101174-1688128234)
> `\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Toolbar\Enumeration\InformationStatus` class,
> the new enum does not use the prefix `STATUS_` for its values. Also
> a special `__default` constant is not available.
