Contextual menu

Contextual menu is used to provide a list of actions and links that can be used to perform an action or navigate.

Texts

According to the item type, text can be different.

Title and description: Their role is to describe and add context about their own section. They have to be short and straight to the point. However, their usage is not mandatory and it depends of the user's understanding.

Default item:

  • For the actions, we need to use action verbs such as "share", "edit", "merge" and add an additional indication to link the action verb to the action to be performed. For example: "Share document", "Edit contract", "Merge branche", ...
  • For the links, we need to know where the user will be redirected. For example: "See more details", "Open the distributor page, "Go to company website", ...
  • Danger item: it's an action item. It follows the same rules as above.
