Creating Buttons

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 highlight widget

• Using a banner widget

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.

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

Using a Highlight Widget

In our Hiring app, we use a button to highlight the applicants' LinkedIn profiles.

1. Click Edit Layout

2. Drag a highlight 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

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 that will show on all layouts.

You can add any URLs you like including taking the users to another page of the app.
