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.

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

  1. Click   Edit Layout
  2. Drag a banner widget onto the layout
  3. 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.
