Button Group
Overview
Button Groups organize multiple buttons into a single unit, presenting them in a neatly arranged horizontal series. This grouping includes various button styles, such as basic buttons, icon-based buttons, and other design variations.
Buttons are essential interactive elements in the user interface, designed to trigger specific actions when clicked by the user. They facilitate various functions, such as submitting forms, navigating between pages, or executing commands.
For example, in a Salesforce custom application for managing customer support tickets, you might use a Button Group on the ticket detail page to streamline common actions. This Button Group could include custom buttons like Assign to Me
, Escalate
and Add Comment
.
Assign to Me: Allows a support agent to quickly take ownership of the ticket.
Escalate: Moves the ticket to a higher priority or another support level.
Add Comment: Lets the agent add notes or updates to the ticket.
