Label
The label should be short and concise. It should describe the action being performed. Use descriptive verbs ending in -ing, and include an ellipses if the task is is progress.
When the task is complete, the label should change to reflect the new status. Use specific language that mirrors the verb used while the task was underway. For example, if the action was “Saving groups…” then the complete status could say “Save complete” or “Groups saved”.
Use sentence case--capitalize the first word. Don’t include a period.
