Usage#

The following segment provides instructions for designers and developers regarding the appropriate utilization of this component in various situations.

Do:

Use to enable a user to select one value from a predefined list. Use as soon as two options are mutually exclusive. Use

Checkbox instead if there is only one option.

Use when the user should see all available options.

Consider using the Segmented Control for 5 options or fewer.

Keep the label text short and descriptive (one or two words).

Select one option by default in a group of radio buttons, except for cases where a pre-selection can lead to wrong assumptions.

Align radio buttons with more than 2 items vertically left-aligned.

Don't:

Don't use a radio Button for a large number of items (≥ 7), use the Select or Segmented Control component instead.
