• Use verbs for labels that describe the associated action (for example, "Cancel," "Delete," "Discard," or "Save"). If
necessary, include more descriptive text elsewhere on the screen (for example, in an application message).
• Avoid using the labels "Yes" and "No."
Reminder dialog boxes
Use reminder dialog boxes to remind users of time-sensitive activities such as appointments or tasks.
Include a Snooze button that users can click to receive another reminder at a later time and a Dismiss button to dismiss the
reminder. To dismiss the reminder, users press the Escape key. To close a reminder dialog box, users click a button or
press the Escape key. Reminder dialog boxes include an indicator that represents the application that generated the
reminder.
Status dialog boxes
Use status dialog boxes to indicate to users that a process is occurring. When a status dialog box appears, users cannot
perform other actions. Status dialog boxes include a clock indicator.
