Description
A split button couples a primary action on the left with an attached dropdown menu of related actions. This component is used when there are many possible actions but only one primary action.
Do we have one split button in the ribbon that has an icon for thr primary action, and another type that has just text as a primary action?
Usage & Behaviour
GeneralUsage & Behaviour
General guidelines
Text
Label should address the primary action of the button. See additional guidelines in Buttons#Labels
Format structure
The split button is separated into two areas: the label/icon and the arrow icon. The separator between them signals that the two areas result in different actions.
The icon which opens the menu act as a menu (see more information in <<menu link>>)<<TBD - Update>>
Order
For the items within the menu
Popularity- by popularity - when there are a few available items (e.g. less than 5)
Internal Logic
Internal Logic
- The primary button should appear in the menu and indicated as selected
- The Primary and and menu icon are treated as 2 distinct buttons with their own states
See example for hover state:
Default Selection
The primary action should be the most common use case, while the dropdown menu shows a list of related actions.
Persistent split button <<?Can the default be changed - according to the menu?>>. The default is kept until the user makes a different selection which then becomes default. The button label changes accordingly.
States
- Split buttons can be enabled or disabled
- The menu can also contain specific disabled actions while the Primary is enable and vice versa
- If a split button is disabled, the colour of the button changes and the cursor indicates that you cannot click the split button
Interaction
<Continue Here>- When you click the primary action on the left, the action is activated.
- When you click the arrow, it exposes a menu alternative actions
- Clicking an action will commit the action and close the menu
If the split button is selected using keyboard actions and then Enter is pressespressed, the primary action occurs.
Best practice
- This pattern is used when there are many possible actions but only one primary action
- Use a split button only if the actions are related and only one of the actions in commonly used
- Typically placed in a main toolbar
- Use Used for actions not navigation
