User Interface Layout Best Practices

In order to present the user with a consistent user interface (UI) certain guidelines or best practices should be followed. The guidelines presented here are intended for the back office (manager) applications. Layout for public-facing screens (such as eCommerce) are typically installation-specific, and may have separate guidelines.
