HelpText Guidelines

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Apply the following guidelines when setting the HelpText property for menu buttons, menus, submenus, and menu items in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

  • Phrase sentences in the imperative form.

    Example: "Create or update items"

  • If the item does not require user interaction, or if the imperative is inappropriate, use a descriptive form.

    Example: "Inventory value for the physically updated quantity (floating value)"

  • End sentences with a question mark, if necessary.

  • Avoid using exclamation marks (!), and do not use question marks to shorten a phrase.

    Example: Avoid "Update?"; use "Use to update" instead.

  • When referencing a command or menu item capitalize the name, but avoid any additional accentuation like quotation marks.

  • One-word definitions are usually inadequate.
