Description

Someone in the PF slack asked whether he could use a clickable row for tables that only have one action in each row - which is to drill down for more information. I said that he shouldn't because they should be reserved for primary details, and drawer opening interactions, while drill downs should be done via linking the name in the row.

This discussion made us realize there is no mention of clickable rows in table design guidelines.

Task: Add guidelines around actions in rows via clickable rows, and links inside the row

  • What should each of them be used for?

  • When should one be used over the other?

This would be relatively straightforward, maybe have one picture for each scenario and a little description.
