Add a Button Control to a Form
Use the Form Editor (accessed from within a Blueprint in CSM Administrator) to add a Button Control to a Form. A Button Control is capable of executing a single Action when clicked (ex: Run an Action/One-Step Action).
Good to know:
- A Button Control is highly configurable; you can add one or many to a Form, then define the Action to execute when the button is clicked, and how the button looks and behaves on the Form (ex: Text, tooltip, size, color, border style, image, alignment, anchoring, layering, visibility, and enabling/disabling).
- Text, image, and colors can be conditional (Expression-driven).
- See Form Editor Behaviors for tips on working with Controls and the Form Editor.
To add a Button Control to a Form:
- Open a Form in the Form Editor
- Drag-and-drop the Button Control from the Standard Control tree onto the Form.
- Define the Action to execute when the button is clicked:
- Right-click the Button Control, and then select Control Properties.
- In the Choose Action window, click the
Ellipses button
to open the Action Manager, then select the Action to execute.
- Define the text to display on the button:
- In the Label text box on the Form Editor toolbar, provide the text to display on the button.
- (Optional) Change the font, font size, font style, and font alignment if needed.
- Define how the button looks and behaves on the Form (ex: Size, alignment, etc.).
- Publish the Blueprint (File>Publish Blueprint) to commit the changes, or save the Blueprint (File>Save Blueprint) to continue making other changes.
