AX - Button Group

Overview

AX - Button Group is an Experience Cloud component that displays multiple related buttons together as a unified group on Experience Sites pages.

Use it to present related actions side-by-side—like "Save" and "Cancel," "Edit" and "Delete," or navigation options for different sections. Buttons stay visually connected as a single unit, making it clear they're related choices.

Perfect for form actions, record management options, tab-like navigation, or anywhere portal users need to choose between multiple related actions.

Configuring the Button Group

Follow these steps to tailor the Avonni Button Group Component to fit your Experience Cloud site's design and functionality perfectly:

Key Settings

Display as row

Enable this setting to arrange the buttons horizontally across the screen. Deactivating it will stack the buttons vertically.

Visible buttons

This setting determines the maximum number of buttons directly visible on the screen. If you have more buttons than the specified number, the remaining ones will be placed in a convenient dropdown menu.

Button Menu

  • Label: Set the text displayed on the button that opens the dropdown menu containing additional buttons.

  • Icon Name: On the button menu, select an appropriate icon (refer to Salesforce Lightning Design System for available icons).

  • Variant: Choose the visual style for the button menu (e.g., 'neutral', 'brand', 'inverse').

  • Menu Alignment: Select how the dropdown menu will be positioned relative to the button ('left' or 'right').

Buttons

  • Label: Enter the text you want to appear on the button.

  • Icon Name: If desired, choose an icon to be placed on the button.

  • Icon Position: Specify if the icon should be to the 'left' or 'right' of the button label.

  • Variant: You can select the button's appearance from the predefined styles ('neutral', 'brand', 'destructive', etc.).

  • Disabled: Enable this setting if you want the button to start in a disabled state, preventing user interaction.

  • Hidden: Enable this setting if you want the button to be initially hidden from view.

  • On Click Interaction: This crucial section allows you to define what happens when a user clicks on the button. Consult the "On Click Interactions" documentation page for a comprehensive list of possible actions and configurations.

Important Considerations

  • Design your Button Group with a clear visual hierarchy in mind. Use the 'brand' variant to emphasize primary actions.

  • Use the 'destructive' variant sparingly for actions that have significant consequences.

  • Ensure that button labels are concise and accurately describe their function.

  • Always thoroughly test your Button Group configuration across different devices and browsers to ensure optimal user experience.
