Description

@lboehling

Want to revisit/expand upon our design guidelines (and possibly update our demos as a result) around clickable table rows with other nested interactions in our primary detail pattern. Our current primary/detail demos may not be very accessible.

This topic was brought up by Asumi/HCC team during the UXD PF design share today (11/11). Some of the open questions we discussed:

  • What is the desired/most accessible interaction for clickable table rows with nested clickable elements within them?
  • Should clicking anywhere on the whole row open the details panel, or should we follow something similar to clickable cards where clicking the title of the row opens detail drawer?
  • James also said that his product is requesting that the clicking anywhere on the row actually selects it for bulk actions/checkbox select.

Eric on Accessibility:
It could potentially be an issue to have a clickable item on top of another clickable item. Could cause a misclick when attempting to click smaller action within larger action. Alternative: have a separate button within the table row or card specifically for triggering a drawer to open. see: https://www.tempertemper.net/blog/overlapping-interactive-areas
