Ordering Controls Visually

Organize fields from top left to bottom right in a page. Include most important information at top. Use group boxes to group related fields and indicate the hierarchy of information on a page. Guidelines for grouping information include:

• Keys

  Group all key fields at the top of a page (such as business unit, employee ID, and setID).

• Level 1−3

  Controls at these levels must be enclosed by a scroll area or grid. At design time, these levels can be stacked. At runtime, they appear nested.
