Secondary button

A secondary button allows users to take secondary/optional actions and choices.

Usage Guidelines

Buttons are aligned to the right hand side of a page. In some cases where there are form fields that need an approximate action, a button can be placed at the right end of a row if there are 1-3 form fields before it.

Text label

Describes the action that will occur if a user clicks taps on a button. For maximum legibility, avoid text wrapping on 100% views and common screen sizes.

Size

Buttons typically take the size of their container, spanning a minimum of 3 columns in the foundation grid.

Hierarchy

A layout should contain a single prominent button that makes it clear that other buttons have less importance in the hierarchy. Emphasis is conveyed with styling:

• High emphasis: Primary buttons
• Medium emphasis: Secondary buttons
• Low emphasis: Text links

If all buttons on a dialog or tangent application page are optional, the secondary treatment can be used for all buttons. E.g. “Print” or “Email” buttons on a receipt details dialog.

Accessibility

Use a tag with the appropriate class and a clear text label. Additional hidden text can be added to the label if context requires so.
