When designing a feature that can be accessed by different user levels, I'm wondering how the use of "enabled" versus "active" will work. If I'm an administrator, it means I have the ability to turn on and off a feature. Does this mean the feature is enabled for me or active? Once I turn this feature on, is it then enabled or active? Terminology is the pits.
On the subject, does anyone know of a reference book or site dedicated to questions regarding standard terminology for UIs? Thanks a million!
Enabled = "can respond to events" or "on"
Active = "has focus" or "current item"
