Design Patterns
Successful design patterns from different areas of the workspace, the same application, or other applications, are re-used where possible. Types of design patterns include: An arrangement of visual elements that communicate similar information or perform a similar function. A similar sequence of steps to complete a task. Common building blocks (buttons, scrollbars, checkboxes, progress bars, menus, etc.) are preferred over custom components where possible.
