Floating action button (FAB)

Floating action buttons (FABs) place the most important actions on the screen a tap away.

Floating action buttons must include the following:

  • Icon with no label
  • Background color
In this example, the plus sign button in the lower right corner gives users the option to add another destination to their trip.

Template support

FABs are supported by the Grid template and the List template.

Guidance

  • Each Grid or List template supports up to 2 FABs, which appears in the lower right corner.
  • Use a FAB for the most important action on the screen.
  • FABs don't include text labels, so make sure the icon is easy to understand without supporting text.
