Guidelines for designing Confirmation queries:

+
    +
  • When designing the prompt text, make sure that the positive answer +is also a safe one. Users tend to proceed pressing the left softkey or the +Selection key without thinking too much.

  • +
  • Redundant Confirmation queries should be avoided. Do not add a Confirmation +query if there already are other forms of feedback, unless it is crucial that +the user gets a certain piece of information.
