Hi,

My application contains a number of gray circles with a line though it e.g.
But it's rather faint, and would be hard to read on an instruction set if I took a screenshot.

There must be instances of this symbol in a darker gray than I have here, but I'm not having any luck Googling it (e.g. gray circle with line through it)

Where can I find a suitable example? Or maybe I just need a better search term for this symbol?

Thanks.

In a web application, I have a screen that includes the following (redacted):

The functionality is that if the thingy to the right of "Confirm" is not present, you can click Confirm to approve a transaction. If the thingy is present, there's an issue with the transaction and you can't approve it at this time.

But, what do I call it? Magnifying glass icon? Or is icon even the correct word.

Oh, the hairs I split... :)

Thanks,
Steve

Hello,

To indicate an optional plural, I would write:

Select the checkbox(es) next to the item(s)

But, how about for a word such as "category".

Do I write:

Select the checkbox(es) next to the category(s)

(or)
Select the checkbox(es) next to the categor(ies)

While I suppose this sentence could be rewritten, all I"m looking for is the specific issue of (s) vs (ies).

Thank(s) :)

I had this question after viewing I need a synonym for the word "field" (Database context).

I'm documenting a web application screen that contains numerous fields per this redacted example for running (race) data for an athlete.

Date: 02/09/18
Race Name: Experts Exchange Challenge
Distance: 5 miles

Result:   Time: 39:09   PacePerMile: 7:50

Date, Race Name, and Distance are fields.

But how about Result and its elements (Time and PacePerMile)?  I'm calling Result a "field" and it elements "subfields".  Am I on safe ground? (My audience is technical people such as UX designers.)

Thanks!

Hi,

Suppose (redacted example) I have an application to measure running statistics.

First field (UNITS) is a drop-down menu with the choices (MILES, KILOMETERS, OTHER)
The subsequent fields are determined by the first field.
If UNITS = MILES,:
    One field (Mi.) displays, with numeric input.
If UNITS = KILOMETERS
    One field (Km.) displays, with numeric input.
If UNITS = OTHER
    Two fields display:
        CUSTOM UNIT (text field to enter whatever you want (e.g. meters, furlongs, etc.)
        DISTANCE (where you enter a numeric value e.g. 3 for 3 furlongs).

Is it correct to say that there's a field dependency between the subsequent fields and UNITS? I've heard of that term used if a field's available values depend on some other field

but how about in this case? (I'm not using Salesforce, my friend Google found it. :) )

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
I'm documenting a screen in a web application that contains multiple fields. I need to specify the "type" for each one (e.g. text). What would you call a field where you can check one or more checkboxes? Selection List?

Thanks!
Steve

Hey Everyone,

Maybe I'm jumping at shadows after a busy week so far... :)

I encountered the following in something I'm reviewing (redacted)
"This field displays the overall average for all vendors."

But isn't "average" by definition, imply "overall"? I'm thinking I should remove "overall".

Thanks,
Steve

Win10:

Happy Holidays!

Silly question:

What's the term for the Windows button I've highlighted below?


There's Maximize:

()

minimize, close, and this doo-hickey. I've seen it referred to as "restore" on the drop-down menu at the upper-left of the screen. But, is it correct to say,

"When you restore a window to its default size, the data displays yada yada yada..."

Thanks!

Hi,

From what I know, if you are documenting a data structure (e.g. JSON) with embedded objects, you might have something like this for the data schema tables:

DISCLAIMER: In the real world, I doubt you'd have a full (e.g.) doctor object embedded in the prescription object. More likely, you'd have a record number for patient, doctor, drug, but the below is useful for this example. :)

PRESCRIPTION OBJECT
Date
Time
Rx Number
Patient Object
Doctor Object
Drug Object
Directions
etc.


You'd then have tables for the aforementioned objects, which themselves could contain objects:
DOCTOR OBJECT
LastName
FirstName
IdNumbers Object
Address
etc.

And in turn...
ID NUMBERS OBJECT
Licence
DEA
NPI
-----------
Now, to the question. I'm documenting an API where some of the embedded objects contain only one field/object. To use the above example, something like:

PRESCRIPTION OBJECT (as before: contains many fields/objects)

DOCTOR OBJECT (Contains one object)
IdNumbers Object

ID NUMBERS OBJECT (Contains one field)
License

Per the above, would I be overdoing it to have separate data tables for these objects containing only one field/object? If so, I'd need to find a clean way to embed everything in the parent table.

Thanks!
Steve
