Action Menu on table

Question

I was recently working on a table project and I came up with an issue. I have a table where each row has a set of actions as "Add to bookmark" "Add to CRM" "View Full Screen".

So here showing this actions on all the rows all the time doesn't look good. So what I have done is I have introduced an action menu which comes when you hover over any row. (As shown in image)

But I was not able to achieve the full output.

The problem with this is: User has to hover on each row to know which is bookmarked and which is not.

and in another version, i have made all actions next to the first column and if it is already bookmarked I show it always and if it's not it will be shown on hover.

Let me know if there is a better way to solve this?

Answer 1

So here showing this actions on all the rows all the time doesn't look good.

To solve this, you need an action bar. You could have it like how you currently have, which is shown in yellow. Another option is to show the submenu on more icon (vertical ellipsis) click.

User has to hover on each row to know which is bookmarked and which is not.

To solve this, your second screenshot is great.

So basically, I suggest you combine both the options.
