Popover

Popovers provide additional content and access to actionable elements within a popup.

Usage Guidelines

The Telerik and Kendo UI Popover requires you to follow some basic principles when using the component.

Purpose

The Popover can enhance the user experiences in scenarios with rich, interactive content that benefits from its structured layout. However, for simpler cases that require only brief information, explore the Tooltip component, which offers a more concise approach.

A Telerik and Kendo UI Popover providing additional information and interactive content
Use the Popover component in scenarios where the displayed content is sufficiently complex and provides valuable additional information or interactive options that take advantage of the popover's structure and functions.
An incorrectly used Telerik and Kendo UI Popover providing limited information
Avoid using the Popover component in scenarios where only a short text or minimal content is displayed. In such cases, use the Tooltip component instead.

Callout

When incorporating the Popover into a user interface, consider the use of callouts that give visual cues about the associated anchor component.

Use callout to provide a visual cue for the anchor component associated with the popover, improving the user's ability to relate the content
A Telerik and Kendo UI Popover without a callout
Avoid omitting the callout when the displayed popover appears to relate to multiple possible anchor components, as this can cause confusion about the intended association.
