A tile is a large button with text and, optionally, an image/logo that allows the user to navigate to a destination in E-Receptionist.
Tiles have the following general properties:
- Caption - The text displayed on the tile. All tiles should have a caption.
- Image resource - An optional image/logo to display on the tile. Images can be reused throughout the design.
- Size - Tiles can be one of several sizes on the menu:
- Tiny - When stacked vertically, 2 tiles of this size equate to 1 normal-sized tile.
- Small - When the menu layout wraps, it can accommodate 3 rows of tiles of this size.
- Normal - Suitable for most purposes. Menus can typically accommodate 2 rows of tiles of this size.
- Large - Intended for menus with only a few options, laid out across a single row.
All tiles should have a destination, which could be another , a telephone call or some other action. A tile with no destination attached would give the user the impression that they could interact with it, so this is not advised.
