Adding an Action Button to a Form

How to add an Action Button to a form

Action buttons allow app users to trigger a form entry action.

  1. From the Actions/Container menu in the Form Designer, click Action Button.
  2. The Action Button is added to the form. Click (Edit) to open the Edit Action Button window.
  3. Enter a label for the action button. Be descriptive, especially if you have more than one Action button on your form.
  4. In the Tooltip field, enter the tip/hint you may want to include for the action button.
  5. From the Form Action list select the action to be performed. The actions in this list were created on the Form Actions tab in the Form Settings window.

  6. The response entries default based on what was set up in the Create Form Action window, but you can make changes here. 
  7. Click OK to save your entries. Click Cancel to close the Edit Action Button window without saving changes.
