Check Boxes
Do
- Keep all check box text concise.
- List options in a logical order, such as alphabetically or in order by most likely to be selected first.
Don’t
- Don't use periods at the end of check box text.
Capitalization
Check box labels may be capitalized in 2 ways, depending on their length and placement in the UI:
- Use title case for short labels that are to the left or above a check box.
- Use sentence case for longer labels that are placed to the right of a check box, especially if the label reads like a phrase.
We encourage the use of shorter, more concise labels whenever possible.
