Shell Elements Naming
The following shell elements should be "title cased" – typically each word is capitalized. (I say "title case" instead of "proper case" because you wouldn't capitalize "and," "to," etc.)
-
Page Headers
-
Page Tabs
-
Menus
-
Query Nodes
These elements should be "sentence-cased" – typically, only the first letter of the first word should be capitalized:
-
Section captions
-
Page action captions
-
Section action captions
-
Tooltips
-
Column headers
-
Task captions
-
Task descriptions
-
Task groups
Data list group headers (when the text doesn’t represent "data" – for example, "Two weeks ago")
Also, page and section actions should have captions (exceptions must be approved).
Task descriptions should be sentences, and thus end in a period.
