Primary Action Button

TODO: Image

When to use

Use a Primary Action Button whenever there is a primary action for a certain page of your application or for the whole application, which is executed frequently. Typical primary actions are "Create New", "Save" or "Send".

If the primary action is clearly associated with a specific element on the user interface, place controls within the content instead.

How to use

  • Provide a clear icon for the Primary Action Button since it has no text label

Desktop-specific

If your application is using Column-based navigation

  • If there is a global Primary Action, associate it with the first column
  • If there is a Primary action for the context of a specific column, associated with the respective page
