From: "Adrian Crum" <[email protected]>
I updated the UI Best Practices Wiki page with the information from our last discussion about Create versus Add versus New. We ended up with +1 for Create, +2 for New, and +2 for Create New. I used the one common to all - Create New. Keep in mind this isn't set in stone - we can still change it.
This sounds good to me, though for a purist in French it would be a pleonasm ;o)
See the Terminology section: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/User+Interface+Layout+Best+Practices In this discussion, I would like for us to come up with a best practice for Edit/Update terminology. If the user is modifying existing data, what is the correct term to use in the UI? Edit? Modify? Update? Edit Existing? Update Existing? Or something else?
Modify, but I'm certainly biased by my mother tongue
While we are on that subject, what is the correct term to be used in the form's submit button? Save or Update?
Save (but Update would be as good for me, only that in French it's "Mettre à jour" vs "Enregistrer" - "Sauvegarder" being too specific) Sorry, not sure my comments are hepful at all :/ Jacques
Keep in mind there are no right or wrong answers, we are just trying to make the UI consistent. -Adrian
