Usability Considerations
-
The ‘i’ icon button is universally recognised and consistently interpreted as “more
information”. - Clicking (rather than hover-only behaviour) supports:
- Touch devices
- Users with motor or cognitive impairments
Tooltips and popovers
The tooltip and popover format allows for:
- Supporting information to be displayed closer to the context
- Can force content to be concise and improve readability
Drawers
The drawer format allows for:
- Larger text
- Clear headings
- Better readability for large amounts of information
