Function

a!stampField( label, labelPosition, instructions, helpTooltip, icon, text, backgroundColor, contentColor, size, align, tooltip, showWhen, accessibilityText, link, marginAbove, marginBelow )

Displays an icon and/or text on a colored circular background. They are best used as a decorative component to add visual interest to your page. This feature is perfect for drawing attention to important content and reduces the need for custom images.

Stamps can include a link and are an alternative style in places where you might otherwise use a button or a link.

The following patterns include usage of the Stamp Component.

  • Activity History Pattern (Formatting): The Activity History pattern provides a common style and format for displaying an organization's activity measures.

  • 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.

  • Form Steps (Stamps): Use the form steps patten to break down complicated forms into a series of quickly completed steps that are well organized and easy to navigate. This pattern uses a combination of cards and rich text to create steps that can represent fields from one or more interfaces.

  • Milestone Stamp Pattern (Looping): Use the milestone stamp pattern to visually guide users through sequential steps to complete tasks and show users their progress as they move through the steps.

  • Navigation Patterns (Conditional Display, Formatting, Navigation): Use the navigation patterns to help orient users and enable them to easily navigate pages and content.

  • Stamp Steps (Stamps): There are two similar stamp steps patterns. The stamp steps (icon) pattern is primarily icons and titles. It should be used for simple steps that don't require much information or instruction. The stamp steps (numbered) pattern is primarily text and should be used for steps that require context or explanation.
