Dictionary entry
- Best used for
- CRM and case-management interfaces · Giving many business objects a common operating model
- Type
- Keep labels plain and metadata compact, with action verbs leading controls.
- Composition
- Place the record identity first, primary actions beside it, then tabs and related panels.
- Material
- Use white cards, pale neutral grounds and color only for action or status.
- Caution
- A field of unrelated cards becomes a dashboard with no object model. Make the record and next action unmistakable.
