General guidelines
Structure
The toolbar is shown as a horizontal, single row.
It may contain one or more controls.
Placement and Positioning
The toolbar is located on top of a data container (Data table, Widget, List Etc…) and takes the full area (e.g. the data table).
It uses the maximum width of the data set In some casesarea.
Where relevant, the row of a toolbar can accommodate additional non-related components (e.g. a widget with a title text)Right-aligned- actions toolbar should be divided into two areas:
Action area - aligned to the left, including controls that impact the data (e.g. delete).
View area - aligned
to the right, including controls that impact the view of the data (e.g. print, search, change view mode etc.).
If there is only a view area, it will be aligned to the left, depending on the context of the user flow.

and a Search component.
information items, such as counters and statuses (See data table example above).
Dialog Buttons cannot be used within a toolbar.
If there are sets of controls (for example, table-level actions vs. row-level actions), they should be separated by a vertical divider.
In case of a large number of items, a three-dotted Icon Button may be used, allowing users to open an Action Menu (see the chart example above). In this case, the icon button will be the last control.
Internal Logic
Toolbar controls can be applied to selected items or the entire related content.
Toolbar controls can be enabled/disabled in response to data selection (e.g., a Delete control will be disabled if no data was selected).
States
The toolbar itself has no states. Each control on the toolbar will behave according to its own states.
Validations and errors
The toolbar itself has no validations or errors. Each control on the toolbar may have its own validations.
Best practices
Use:
if the user can perform actions or change the view of the related content.
if the related content allows multi selection.
Don’t use:
On a single-selection data table, if all actions can be performed only at a row-level.
If a ribbon pattern is used.
General:
Where possible, consider using only Icon Buttons, with corresponding Tooltips.
Icon buttons with text should be used to emphasize one or two specific actions.
