Headings
Headings are text components that mark off areas of Instruction Text or other interactive components in the UI.
They can appear at the top of pages, dialogs, or break up sections of related components.
To write headings in UI copy, use the following guidelines:
Guideline | Acceptable | Not Acceptable | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Content |
||||
Page, dialog, and section headings should either:
|
Configure services Database services Nodes Buckets Copy connection string |
Services Your Services |
||
Decision Dialogs should always have a heading written as a question, asking the user to confirm an action. |
Delete this database? Turn on this database? Create a bucket with these settings? |
Delete this database Database turn on Bucket creation |
||
Capitalization |
||||
Write all Decision Dialogs headings in sentence case. Write main headings that appear as part of pages in title case. Capitalize proper nouns or other terms that are capitalized elsewhere in the UI.
|
Completed Maintenance Jobs Configure Database Access Credentials Replication |
Delete This Database? self-managed targets |
||
Punctuation |
||||
Try to avoid adding commas (,), unless you need to list multiple items. Make sure to use the Oxford comma. |
Configure a Bucket, Scope, and Collection |
Configure a bucket scope and collection Configure a bucket, scope and collection |
||
Use question marks (?) if a heading is a question. Always write the heading as a question on Decision Dialogs. |
Delete this database? Turn on this database? Create a bucket with these settings? |
Delete this database Database turn on Bucket creation |
||
Never add a period (.) or exclamation mark (!) to the end of a heading. |
