Creating Buttons

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
• Using a banner widget
• Action buttons

Using a URL in a field

You will need to use a URL field type to create this button.

1. Click   Edit Layout
2. Drag a field widget onto the layout
3. Toggle the URL field
4. Hover over the field until a pencil icon appears and click the pencil
5. Check Display as button
6. 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

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.
