Status Messages
Status messages should conform to the following guidelines:
Selection:
When a single item is selected in a list, the status text should read:
Selected itemtype: itemname
When multiple items are selected, the status text should read:
number selected
When the Select All button is used, the status should read:
All items in all pages are selected
When the last selected item is unselected, the status text should read:
No items selected
Find:
When no items are found, the status text should read:
No items found
When one item is found, the status text should read:
1 item found
When a known number of multiple items are found, the status text should read:
number items found
Delete:
When a single item is successfully deleted, the status text should read:
Deleted itemtype: itemname
When multiple items are successfully deleted, the status text should read:
number items deleted
When a single item is not successfully deleted, the status text should read:
Unable to delete: itemname
When multiple items are not successfully deleted, the status text should read:

For other operations that result in the re-display of a list, status text similar to that used for Delete operations should be used. Examples of such operations include: import, export, and restore.
