Best Practice 3.4 – Provide error identification (Baseline level)


If a user makes a mistake, use text to show where and what has done wrong, and provide hint for how to fix it.

 

Before Rectification
A sample mobile application page with an ambiguous error message.
In this example, an error has been identified but without specific error message prompted.
After Rectification
A sample mobile application page with a meaningful error message.
More specific error message should be given so that users know exactly what is wrong.
