Anchor to guidelinesGuidelines
- When a merchant opens a new form, the first text field should be in a focused state.
- If the merchant is actively focused in a text field, then the keyboard should come up and the label should move to the top of the field.
- If focus goes away from the text field, then the keyboard should hide.
- Text fields always take up the full screen width.
- Text fields don’t change height. If text entered is longer than the width of the text field, then the oldest text on the left should be hidden to make room.
- When it makes sense, provide autocomplete options (for example, entering an address).
Anchor to content-guidelinesContent Guidelines
- If a text field is required, then it should indicate
Required
. - Label titles should be brief and written in sentence case.
- Use the same terms for similar label titles throughout the app.
