Smart Button

Smart Button may be used to create a call to action in either a button or a link format.

Smart Button is capable of linking to various types of content. See Actions below.

 

Button Style

Primary Button

  • Is used in Hero Banner for these views:
    • Home Page Banner
    • Top Banner
  • May be used within the body of a page if it is the only CTA on the page; examples where this may occur: Blog page, Press Release, Success Story
  • Should be only one Primary Button per page

Secondary Button - White

  • Is used in Hero Banner for these views:
    • Home Page Banner
    • Top Banner
    • Offer/Form Banner
    • Card Images with Background Image Layout
  • Is used on a dark background in the page body

Secondary Button - Color (Dark Grey)

  • Is used on a light background within the page body
  • Is used in Hero Banner for Offer Banner view, if White Button does not provide enough contrast

Ghost Button

  • Is used on a light background within the page body, typically for a CTA in a 50/50 split on the side where the Text appears

Ghost Button - Dark

  • Is used on a dark background within the page body.

Link Style

  • Next Step is used below Card Carousel or Card 2x2 Section Layout to take users to the View All option for cards
  • White does not have any use cases at this point in time, but it would be used on a dark background color
  • Mini is used only on product pages in the Hero Banner for the functionality that is tied to Digital Exchange. (Phase 2)
  • Body Link is used in all cards, except for Card Images with Background Image Layout, which uses Secondary Button style
  • Body Link may be used as a standalone CTA within the body of a page

Action

Regardless of whether the Smart Button is a button or link, select one of the following to define the action to be taken:

  • Redirect - Use when linking to an internal AEM web page or an external web page
    • Browse - do not copy/paste - to an AEM web page
    • Use https:// for an external URL
      • A Marketo URL (with engage.aveva.com) is considered to be an external URL even though it is an AVEVA domain
  • Download - Use when linking to a .pdf or .exe file type (download behavior determined by user's individual browser preferences)
  • Scroll to Section - Use when creating an anchor link; this is used in conjunction with the Section ID field in the Background Container component
  • Pop-up Video - Use when a video should pop up in a modal (typically this will be done in Home Page or Top Banner when either Primary or Secondary Button style is used)
    • Enable Top Padding does not work for this style
  • Form Overlay - Use when a form should open in a lightbox - only 1 Marketo form per page may open in a pop-up due to a known bug with Marketo that will duplicate the form in the pop-up (confirm if only when opened from a button and not from a link in Smart Button)
    • Recommendation is to reserve the usage of the pop-up form in the lead-generation Offer Banner used at the bottom of the page in Solutions, Industries, and Products site sections
