Content guidelines

General

• A tooltip can be a single word or a short phrase.
• Use sentence case.
• Don't add a period in a tooltip.
• Ensure your terminology is consistent with its usage in other Dynatrace Apps.
• Use simple language and avoid technical jargon. The tooltip should be easy for most users to understand.
• Tooltips for icon-only buttons can be a single word. If the button represents an action, use the appropriate verb (for example, Copy or Refresh). If the button represents a thing, use the appropriate noun (for example, Downloads or Drafts).
• Don't add links inside tooltips. Tooltips aren't focusable, so they shouldn't include links.
• Long or important messages don't belong in a tooltip. For these, try InformationOverlays.
• Learn more about developing with guided interaction.
