A toolbar is a grouped set of controls, allowing users to perform actions on related content.
...
Usage & Behavior
The toolbar may be used in conjunction with 3 components:apply to the whole page, or be associated with a data table, list, or chart.
General guidelines
Structure
...
The toolbar is located on top of a data area (e.g. the data table).
It uses the maximum width of the data area.
Where relevant, the 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.
Content
A toolbar may include:
a variety of controls, such as Action Menus, Buttons, 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.
...
Where possible, consider using only Icon Buttons, with corresponding Tooltips.
Icon buttons with text should be used to emphasize one or two specific actions.
