Dropdown Buttons

Scenarios

The dropdown button is best used when grouping related operations, usually within tables. It works best when there are multiple operations with one clear primary operation.

Example

Recommendations
 

• Choose a sensible primary operation, the 80% operation. Often this is "edit".

• Keep the task link text short; preferably 1 to 3 words.

• Avoid similar labels such as "Edit menu" and "Edit menu links".

Problem it solves
 

Reduces clutter on tables by condensing the operations to allow focus to be placed on the most common operations.
