Object preview panels
Object preview panels display a summary of an asset’s key attributes without requiring full navigation to the detail page. They appear as side panels or overlays and are used to support quick inspection workflows.
When to use
- When a user hovers over or clicks an item in a list or search result and wants a quick view of its properties.
- To reduce context switching during browsing or review tasks.
Style
- Panel title is the asset name. Use the exact name - do not rephrase.
- Use short attribute labels (one to two words) followed by their values.
- Group related attributes under a subheading where the panel is long.
- Include a View full details link at the bottom to navigate to the full detail page.
