Best practices

• Use radio buttons for two or more choices when space is not an issue. If space is limited, consider using a drop-down list instead.
• Verify that the content for radio buttons remains static. Content for radio buttons should not change depending on the context.
• Do not start an action when users select a radio button. For example, do not open a new screen on the select action.
• Group and order radio buttons logically. For example, group related options together or include the most common options first.
• Avoid ordering radio buttons alphabetically. Alphabetical order is language-specific.
• Use clear, concise labels. Verify that the label clearly describes what occurs when users select the radio button.
• Place labels on the right side of radio buttons.
• Use sentence case capitalization for the individual radio buttons in a group. Capitalize the first word and any other word that requires capitalization (such as a proper noun).
• Do not use end punctuation.
