Web Design Naming Proposal

I created a notification bar at the top of my web page. When the user performs an insert, edit, delete. My Messages

Successfully inserted // insert or create
Successfully updated // update or edit
Successfully deleted // delete

This is normal. Or any other suggestion from the user's point of view

I suggest giving a meaningful message instead of just saying “Successfully updated”

eg.

  • Your work address has been saved successfully.
  • User "MuraliVijay CSK" was successfully saved / created

In some cases (if your application is accidental) you may also be humorous

eg. In a bugzilla search, the application says “Zaro boogs found” if there were no errors matching your search criteria

I would use "created" instead of the inserted one. The insert is too technical for some users.

Perhaps you could be more friendly?

  Created new customer "bill" Updated phone record for "bill" Removed customer "bill" 

Two ideas here: 1). Use terms related to the domain the user belongs to. 2). Give enough context so that if the user leaves his desk for a while and returns, what they have done is displayed. "Paste OK" leaves the question "Hmm, I wonder what I pasted."

  • The Create or Paste or Add action is associated with a new post so you can say: "The new XXX post was successfully created or inserted or added."
  • The "Edit or Modify or Update" action associated with an existing post so you can say: "An existing XXX post has been successfully edited or modified or updated."
  • The "Delete or Delete" action associated with an existing entry so you can say: "An existing XXX entry has been successfully deleted or deleted."

{Add, Modify, Delete}, {Create, Modify, Delete}, etc., but it is better to select one set and use it sequentially.

Also, the “updated” option may be “updated”.

In addition to using “created” instead of “pasted,” simply tell the user what has been changed (for example, “Your address has been successfully updated”)

We all have to agree when introducing the webpage to the public, we better remove all technical terms and use easy-to-understand words that the first Internet user should understand,

instead of using successfully inserted, updated or deleted, I will use keywords such as

The request completed successfully. for all types of requests.

I would also add the id / key field to the message if you want to easily identify the added / updated / deleted field by its key value.
