The Call-to-Action component is used to prominently feature a link (explanatory text and a button) to an application, interactive form or survey or other transactional function that is specifically related to the content/purpose of the page. The Call-to-Action feature can help persuade users to take an action related to a program or service.

Should always be located at the top of the page.
