"use": "Actions that act on a single entry stand at the end of its row. Their label is the verb alone — the entry already names the object. From the third action on, they move into a menu. Here three amounts stand one below the other — one action, two, and from the third on the menu.",
"decisions": [
"The row carries the verb alone: “Approve”, not “Approve payroll run” — the entry names the object, and in eighty rows it would be one word too many eighty times.",
"Every row is treated the same: labeled buttons here and bare symbols there is worse than either version on its own.",
"No more than two buttons stand in a row; the third and every further action go into More, where each keeps its full label with its object, because the entry is no longer beside it. The two that stay are the ones needed every day.",
"The destructive action stands last in the menu, behind a divider.",
"An action in an entry is a button, not a text link: a link leads on, a button does something.",
"The actions stand beside the entry's content, not in it, so each is a tab stop of its own; whatever they do is confirmed with the entry they were pressed in.",
"A running action shows that it is working and takes no second press meanwhile: two presses on Approve approve once."
