In our system, we can include both hyperlinks and command

navigating to locations and buttons for carrying out actions.

and then sub module name, and then display the selected
application name or object name for user to return to last
location easily. If sub tab exist in an object , System shall
show current object name and current sub-tab in the
navigation bar, both of which are not hyperlink
No close button will be used to close the current page and
return to the last page. Usually we use symbol “>” to connect
each item in navigation bar.

In a system, the button label should be consistent and
informative. For example, in all editable pages, we use button
save. For all actions to create a new object, we use New
button. For all actions to add an existed object to another
object, we use Add button. In all search criteria page, we use
two buttons: Search and Clear.
23. System should list object name under navigation bar if user
select an object. If no object is selected, for example, begin a
new action, we should define an appropriate page title text-
schedule creation (for example) and locate it at the place of
the object name.

enable the user to distinguish it from items that are not
selected.

30. All fields that can popup window should have a button (e.g.
View by, completed date should display date calendar
control). Click … button to pop up another window.
