Task Dialog
Design a task dialog when you want to support the user in starting, progressing, or completing a routine task in such a way that the user cannot continue with other work before dismissing the dialog.
Task Dialog guidelines
From the user’s perspective, the following are qualities of a well-designed task dialog page:
Is used for dialog with the user that starts, progresses, or completes a routine task, not for situations that are unexpected or exceptional.
Has a title and instructional text as required to describe the task context in the users’ language.
Includes as few input fields as possible. Fields are grouped and ordered in the typical sequence of input.
Includes details only as required to understand the context for the task.
Provides one or more dismiss buttons with captions that unambiguously describes the function of each button.
