Move placement of Record Save Notification to a better location

We are currently in process in upgrading our Maximo 7.6.1.3 to MAS 9 and when working around found the below could be changed:

When we a create a record and save the same the notification that appears is all over the toolbar button.

The message pops up right over all the toolbar buttons.  It doesn’t stay long, but it’s long enough to be annoying if you want to immediately move to the next record.  You have to manually close it, but it seems like there is plenty of other space on the screen they could have leveraged.
Pleaese find attached for reference

    It would be best if you adjust this using the UI Customization tool in MAS Administration to edit this CSS Class:

    table.umtable[data-message-type] {
    top: 200px !important;
    }


    The 200px may push the notifications a bit too low, but can be edited to whatever you prefer.
    It is difficult to know what other customization or configuration may be in place that would negate any effort we made to position this element better out-of-the-box. For that reason, I don't believe this is a defect or something we would officially support going forward. You should continue to use the CSS editor to make other adjustments, such as width, to tailor this to your exact liking. It is unlikely that these CSS classes will be changing in the future, so these customizations are low-risk.

    Hello Christi and others. Can you please provide a full screenshot that shows your custom title bars/headers? The issue seems to only occur when the custom title bar is present. It would be good to know the common height of that title bar.

    Agreed. Since moving to MAS 9 this has been a consistent end user complaint. And since the toolbar icons cannot be left aligned there does not appear to be a way to adjust for this issue.
