If you want to highlight a link or update specific fields, you might want to use a button. You can create buttons in a few ways:
Using a URL in a field
You will need to use a URL field type to create this button.
- Click Edit Layout
- Drag a field widget onto the layout
- Toggle the URL field
- Hover over the field until a pencil icon appears and click the pencil
- Check Display as button
- Choose a title for your button
This also works really well in the highlight widget. In our Hiring app we have used a button to highlight the applicants LinkedIn profile.
Using a URL field to create buttons means you can have different URLs for different records.
Using a Banner Widget
- Click Edit Layout
- Drag a banner widget onto the layout
- Fill out the relevant information
Using the banner widget creates a button for one URL on the layout.
You can add any URLs you like including taking the users to another page of the app.
