Level 4: Edit Pages

Edit pages are accessed through the New or Edit icons.

Required

The entire navigation bar with the logo and dropdown menu should be removed so that the user has to explicitly save or cancel to exit this page.

The page header should describe the selected business object— Sales Call 0920 .

If an action could result in lost data, provide an confirmation message informing the user of this risk.

Recommended

If a group contains many fields to be edited, it is preferable avoid vertical scrolling by adding pages that are accessible in the footer. If scrolling makes more sense, allow an 11 pix space for the scroll bar.

If a group is divided into two or more pages, ensure that the data is not lost when users navigate between pages. If some pages are incomplete, use a message bar that informs the user of this.

Prohibited

Any links that can exit this page without explicitly saving or canceling should not be available on editing pages.

Navigation

Application users can exit this group box only by clicking the Save and Cancel icons located in the object header, or using a Next link if required.
