The following patterns include usage of the Card Layout Component.
Alert Banner Patterns (Choice Components): The alert banners pattern is good for creating a visual cue of different types of alerts about information on a page.
Call to Action Pattern (Formatting): Use the call to action pattern as a landing page when your users have a single action to take.
Cards as Buttons Pattern (Choice Components, Formatting, Conditional Display): The cards as buttons pattern is a great way to prominently display a select few choices.
Cards as Choices (Cards, Rich Text, Dynamic Links): Use this pattern to display sets of choices that are quick and easy to navigate.
Cards as List Items Patterns (Choice Components, Images): Use the cards as list items pattern to create visually rich lists as an alternative to grids or feeds. This pattern uses a combination of cards and billboards to show lists of like items. You can easily modify the pattern to change the card content or the number of cards per row to fit your use case.
Comments Patterns (Comments, Looping): Use this pattern when displaying a chronological list of messages from different users, such as comments on a topic or notes on a case.
Document List (Documents): Use the document list items pattern to display a list of documents that can be searched and filtered. This pattern uses a combination of cards and rich text to show an easy to navigate list of documents of different types.

Milestone Bar Pattern (Looping): Use the milestone bar pattern to guide users through sequential steps to complete a task and show the user their progress as they move through the steps. This pattern can be used to either break up longer forms into more manageable sections or combine smaller forms into a more streamlined process.
Navigation Patterns (Conditional Display, Formatting): Use the navigation patterns to help orient users and enable them to easily navigate pages and content.
