# Output labels

Output (interface) labels should be clear and consistent so it is easy for users to understand their data and confidently map values between different modules. 

Consider the following when creating output labels:

* Use [sentence case capitalization](https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/capitalization/sentence-case). Capitalize only the first word and proper nouns.
* Use plain terms rather than API formats.
* Match terminology exactly. The output label must be identical to the corresponding mappable parameter.
* Follow the same order. The output labels and mappable parameters should be listed in the same order in both locations.

{% hint style="info" %}
Raw values (the actual keys returned by the API) shouldn’t be updated. They must be left as-is so they accurately reflect the external service's API documentation.
{% endhint %}
