Dashboard Tiles

HTML

<div class="tile-row">
    <a href="#" class="tile-link">
        <div class="tile-content profile-tile">
            <i class="tile-icon" aria-hidden="true"></i>
            <p class="tile-title">Profile</p>
        </div>
    </a>
</div>
            

Problem Being Solved

Users need a way to see the myriad apps they can drill down into.

When to Use

This pattern should be used to present a series of unrelated, equally-weighted links to apps. It works best when we can assume nothing about the best path forward.

When Not to Use

This pattern should not be used for anything except a dashboard.

Formatting

Currently, individual tile colors and icons are hard coded per app. Be sure to use or create styles and classes specific to the app.

Problem Being Solved

We want to present tiles in an alternative but still simple and aproachable way.

When to Use

This pattern should be used to present a series of equally-weighted links, probably related in some way.

When Not to Use

This pattern should not be used when a normal link will suffice.

Formatting

Current color possibilities are blue (default) and p_green. Add the color class to the "tiles-alt" group container.
