Object tile

An object tile represents Atlassian-specific content in a tile.

Usage

Object tile represents objects in a tile shape with properties inherited from the tile component. Use them to highlight objects in a layout, such as next to a group of text. To represent standard icons in a tile, use

Icon tile.

Parts

The anatomy of an Object tile
  1. Icon object: Foreground icon represents Atlassian-specific content.
  2. Background: The default appearance has a neutral background set tocolor.background.neutral. Bold tiles have an assigned background token that cannot be changed.

Size

There are currently 5 size options, representing the width and height in pixels: 20, 24, 32, 40, 48. To keep things easy to see, objects smaller than 20px must be shown without a tile container using the object component.

All available object tile options

Accessibility

Use object tiles in combination with a title and meta-information, such as author, creation date, or sub-heading.
