Button

Drag the Button form control anywhere on the designer canvas and configure the control to save the form, submit the form, or perform an event using rules. This control provides you with more flexibility than the Action panel control. For example, you can position a button anywhere you want so that users don't need to scroll to the bottom of the page to submit a form. You can also use a button to query data and complete calculations.
