A confirmation query requests the user to confirm an operation, or asks +a Yes-No-type of question. It can be used e.g. to make sure that the user +does not accidentally delete important information or start an operation which +cannot be cancelled. A touch down and release on the query has no effect. +Confirmation query cannot be dismissed by tapping outside.

The layout for a Confirmation query is the same as the note layout, with +an optional graphic item.

One or two softkey labels can be used. In case the query can cause two +different consequences, the positive choice (Yes) is placed on the +left softkey, and the negative one (No) on the right softkey.

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.
