You can use buttons to highlight a link on your detail layouts. You can create buttons in a few ways:
Using a URL in a field
Using a URL field to create buttons means you can have different URLs for different records. To do this 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
Using a Highlight Widget
In our Hiring app, we use a button to highlight the applicants' LinkedIn profiles.
- Click Edit Layout
- Drag a highlight 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
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 that will show on all layouts.
You can add any URLs you like including taking the users to another page of the app.
