Popovers

Popovers are a type of dialog activated on click and contain an action for a user. The overall screen remains accessible to the user while a popover is open, unlike a modal.

Specifications

Standard Popover

Popovers contain many actions, such as a radio button group with a 'learn more' button. A popover with that pattern is a basic layout; addition actions can be included to suit your system needs.

Action Menus

Action menus house a list of actions a user can interact with. A user can download, add an item to an internal favorites list, delete an item, and save with an action menu. Action menus allow continuous user activity. The level of complexity supersedes that of a one-click action and adds an additional tier.
