lists and grids</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>If there are no items to be displayed in a list or grid, the pane contains

a text informing the user about the empty list. The information displayed

in the list should be designed to provide as much help and guidance to the

user as possible. Instead of merely stating that a list is empty, the text

should point the user to some useful direction in the application in order

to add content.</p>

<fig id="GUID-05A6F907-D7C3-44F5-B866-E070D872CECA">

<title>Empty list: the primary font used for informing of an empty list (left),

the secondary font (right) used in addition to provide the user with further

information (used only in cases when genuinely useful additional information

is available)</title>

<p>Depending on the case, the text may be aligned to prompt the user to create

the first item for an empty list.</p>
