1.2.3-18 Headings and Label Indentation

When headings are located on the line above related screen fields, the labels should be indented a minimum of five spaces from the start of the heading.

Additional Information:
Scanning an inquiry screen will be aided if logical groupings of fields are identified by headings (see Figure 1.1). This permits scanning of headings until the correct one is located, at which point the visual search steps down one level to the items within the grouping itself. The above guideline is intended to provide easily scanned headings.
