# Content header

##### A content header contains the core information of the current page content.

## Usage

### When to use

Use a content header in the following cases:

- To introduce the user to the current page.
- To show the page title.
- To provide core description of the page.

### General construction

The content header consists of the following elements:

1. Page title, 2. Subline, 3. Context, 4. Secondary content actions

#### 1. Page title

- The page title is short and descriptive. It reflects the content in just a few words.
- Most pages should have a page title. Starting pages or dashboards can be an exception.

#### 2. Subline

- The subline is a secondary headline that elaborates the page title or contains meta information.
- The subline is located below the page title.
- The subline is optional.

#### 3. Context

- Context can be the parent of a page, a classification of a page etc.

#### 3. Secondary content actions

- Secondary content actions are related to the entire page. They are located in the top right corner of the content header.
- For more than four actions use a more menu. Show the main actions on the page and place the additional actions in the menu.

### Options

The following content header options are available:

#### Minimal content header

Most pages need introduction and therefore should have a page title.
