Usage Guidance

Periods

In Workday’s UI, a number of factors may complicate where periods are used.

Do use periods in the following cases:

  • In running text, at the end of full sentences; for example, when writing body text in an error message or dialog
  • Most body text in the UI that is a full sentence (if you are in a Figma file, you can select text and check its style in the right-hand panel)

Do not use periods in these cases:

  • Body text that is a fragment.
  • Titles or headers
  • Subtitles or subheaders
  • Any text in title case
  • Any text styled in all caps
