Overview

List Action

The list actions pattern presents the user with a list of items that each have one or more associated actions. All actions are applied to the item itself, not the list overall. The header signals the start of the list and provides the title. Each item is required to have a title and an action element. The optional icon and subtitle can add further clarity if needed.

Variants

The design of the list item depends on the type and number of associated actions.

Standard List Actions

Standard
Used when the item action navigates the user to a new page to provide more details. The click target fills the entire item container.

Single Action List Items

Personal CheckingAccount ending in: 5551
Joint CheckingAccount ending in: 5552
Credit AccountAccount ending in: 5553
Single Action
Used when there is a single action associated with each list item, such as Edit or Delete. Because the click target is now limited to the button, the item title is no longer green.

Multiple Action List Items

Personal CheckingAccount ending in: 5551
Joint CheckingAccount ending in: 5552
Credit AcccountAccount ending in: 5553
Multiple Action
Used when there are two or three actions associated with each list item. To save space, actions are communicated with icons instead of buttons, however icons must be labeled. Because the click target is now limited to the icon actions, the item title is no longer green.

States

On hover, the arrow on standard list action items is animated to push to the right, indicating that the button will move the user forward. The buttons in the single action variant have the same hover behavior as the button component. The icons on multiple action list items can animate to draw attention to the desired actions.


Design Environment

Use this pattern to present items that typically appear in multiples, even if there only happens to be one in a given list. Make sure to include enough space when placing this pattern next to other click targets and icons.


Microcopy

The list title, item title and item subtitle should all be kept to a single line of text. Use sentence case for the list and item titles as well as the subtitle. Do no include end punctuation. Follow the guidelines for the general button component.
