Speed dial

The UI component Speed Dial is an extension of the Floating Action Button component. This reveals additional action buttons when clicked, allowing multiple buttons with multiple purposes to be placed in an efficient way on the screen.

Each Action Button defined within the Speed Dial can be defined an On Click action, as with all other Button types.

An example setup of the Speed Dial component is showcased in our Showroom! You may view a demo, as well as access the setup in Appfarm Create. If you do not have access, you may register here.

Settings

Here are some properties in Appfarm Create which are configurable for the Speed Dial:

Icon / Open Icon

Icons can be connected to the component. An Open Icon can also be configured, if it is desired that the Icon will be different depending on if the Speed Dial component is opened or closed. The default value for both is a + icon.

Direction

The direction that the Speed Dial component expands in. Can be Up, Down, Left or Right.

Tooltip Open

Each Action Button can be configured to have a tooltip value, and with this setting enabled these tooltips are always visible when the Speed Dial component is open.

Tooltip Placement

Which side of the Action Buttons that the tooltip values appear. If Tooltip Open is enabled, then this value defaults to Left. Can be set to Left, Right, Top or Bottom.

Action Buttons

Each Action Button can be assigned an Icon, a Visibility Condition, a tooltip, and bound to an On Click action.
