Setting User Interface Standards

User interface standards ensure that users are presented with consistent displays, error messages, and commands in all the systems they use. This requires setting standards that are uniform across the entire organization, while also conforming to industry guidelines for user interfaces, for example, Common User Access (CUA).

For a graphical user interface (GUI), guidelines need to be set within the project for the modality of the interface. If the interface is to be very open, and therefore “modeless,” standards need to be set for the point at which a modal interface should be enforced and for what user actions.

Standards can be set only for delete actions, or delete and create actions.
