UX Copy: Standardize Capitalization across Admin Console

XMLWordPrintable

    • Console - Sprint 194, Console - Sprint 196

      Description

      While we are in the process of standardizing content across the Admin console for the internationalization effort, we should also standardize and improve consistency around capitalization. We should follow sentence case capitalization standards based on PatternFly recommendations.

      The Dev console is also updating their capitalization for a consistent experience. See DTUX-678 for details.

      Acceptance Criteria

       

      Today in the console we typically use title case across the UI. The updated guidelines below outline new capitalization recommendations that align with both Red Hat and PatternFly content guidelines.

      • Use sentence case everywhere in the console including:
        • Buttons
        • Column headers
        • Menu items
        • Form field labels
        • Empty states
        • Breadcrumbs
        • Tabs
        • Details page definition list items
        • Card titles

       

      • For the following exceptions use Title Case:
        • Use title case for proper nouns
        • Use title case for navigation items
        • Use title case for page titles (to match navigation)
