Table Column Headings

What rules should I follow when creating table column headings?

  • Be clear and concise: Field names should clearly describe the information required and be as brief as possible.
  • Use sentence case: Capitalise the first word only. For example, Chemical properties instead of Chemical Properties.
  • Use nouns over verbs: Use nouns rather than verbs.
  • Be descriptive and specific: Ensure headings accurately describe the section's content.
  • Use a consistent length: Keep heading lengths consistent.
