Using plain English for all labels and variable names aids the readability of your interactions. It has the added advantage of being understandable when you return to the document.

  • If the Case changes the currently viewed panel state in a carousel, label it to say ‘Show Carousel state 1’
  • Using CamelCase for variables helps them to jump out as items in the case description
  • For instance, a variable that holds information about the current panel state in a carousel should be named something like ‘CurrentState’
  • This method makes your entire case description readable as:
    OnClick
    Show Carousel state 1 (If value of variable CurrentState equals “4”)
    Set value of variable CurrentState equal to “1”
    Set Position Counter state to 1, Carousel state to State 1
