Interaction

  • On hover over the text field, the mouse cursor will change to a text cursor.

  • On click:

    • Where where no text has been added to the field:

      • a text cursor will appear at the beginning of the text field.

      • the hint text will disappear.

    • Where where text already exists in the field:

      • a text cursor will appear in the position where the user clicks.

      • double-clicking a word inside the text field will select that word.

      • triple-clicking the text field will select all of the text.

    When the text field becomes inactive (user clicks away) the hint text will reappear, if no other text has been added
      • word inside the text field will select that word.

      • triple-clicking the text field will select all of the text.

  • As text is entered it will appear from the left-hand side.

    • Text characters may be masked (secured text field only).

      Text Field - Password.pngImage Added
  • Once the cursor reaches the end of the field, it will stop and new characters will be added at that point. The start of the text string will disappear on the left-hand side of the field.

  • If a character limit has been set, reaching the limit will prevent the user from entering any more characters. 

  • For secured fields (such as password):

    • When typing, characters are masked.

    • The field can contain a show/hide password button.

    • In case Caps lock or Num lock are on, a corresponding tooltip will appear (see Common Messages Repository).

...

  • When the user clicks away and the field becomes inactive:

    • if the text string exceeds the width of the field, the start of the text string will come back into view.

    • if no text has been added the hint text will reappear.

Validations and errors

  • Please refer to the Field Validation page for more information.

  • A text field with a warning will have an orange border and a warning icon, as shown below:

...

  • A text field with an error will have a red border and an error icon, as shown below:

...

  • The orange or red border will be removed when the content is updated and becomes valid.

  • Numeric-only text fields will prevent any characters other than numbers from being entered.

  • When Caps lock or Num lock are on, secured text fields (e.g. password) will show a message warning to the user - see the Common Messages Repository for wording.

Best practices

Use:

  • where the user needs to enter a short, single-line text in plain text, such as a password, URL, phone number , or email address, or a number.

Don’t use if:

Responsive design

Verint products should support all devices down to the common tablet size (960px width). For general guidelines, see Fundamentals - Responsive design.

  • Where the available space is narrow:

    • the width of the text field should dynamically respond to its container, taking up 100% of the available space.

    • the label for the text area should be shown above the field, rather than to the left.
