_Button

Last updated 27/03/2026

Overview​

The _Button display type represents a clickable button used to trigger actions within a field. It must use the On Click client-side event, and a function must be attached to this event for the button to perform any action when clicked.

When a field is set to the _Button display type:

  • The field is rendered as a button in the user interface
  • The button label is defined by the field name
  • The button requires an On Click event with an attached function to define its behavior
  • Backend functions can be invoked from the client using
    executeFunction()

When used on a data field in a data view, the button is displayed within the grid for each row, allowing actions to be triggered per record.

Use Cases​

  • Navigate to another form, view, or process
  • Run validations or calculations on demand
  • Trigger actions for individual records directly from a data view grid
