  • All the buttons should have a text description and an icon:

    If that it’s not possible (e.g. a small button with an icon) always use the ‘name’ and ‘title’ properties.

  • Use the tooltip component when you need a better explanation of a button functionality. For example:

  • For UI elements on public pages that are only visible to users with elevated privileges use an inverted color scheme btn-dark.
  • For the ‘anchor’ ( the ‘<a>’ element) that uses the ‘btn’ Bootstrap CSS class always use btn-outline-primary.

  • For buttons like ‘Cancel’ or ‘Back’ use che Bootstrap CSS class btn-outline-secondary.

  • For buttons that open a dropdown list use the Bootstrap CSS class btn-secondary.

    Back -> Cancel -> Submit/Edit/Save/Save for later/Deposit -> Discard/Delete/Remove

    Here an example:


  • Where possible, align the buttons to the right.

  • Ogni macro-funzionalità all’interno di una pagina può avere soltanto un button primary

  • Action confirmation should occur on cancellations or non-reversible operations; a modal should appear with a message giving the possibility to confirm or cancel the requested action:
