→Creating a New Special Button
# Under the '''Field Type''' dropdown, select the new option called “Special - Button”.
# Enter a '''Caption''' if desired.
# For the '''URL''' field, click the binoculars icon to look up a specific URL. For example, if we wanted to create a button that allowed users to edit their profile, we would select “People” for the '''Object Type''' and “Edit My Profile” for the '''Action'''. When you are happy with the object selection, click '''Apply'''. The '''URL ''' field will be populated with a relative path to the selected object. <u>'''Note'''</u>: You can also enter relative paths to other areas of the system such as the assignment grid.
# Next, for the '''Open in''' field, select how the URL object should open when the button is clicked. For example, select “Modal Window” if you want the object to open in a window above your current content so you do not lose context. Select “New Tab” if you want the content to open in a new tab within the '''Tab Bar''' at the bottom of the page.
# (Optional) If you wish to display a custom message to the user who clicks this button, enter any relevant text under '''Confirmation Message'''. This message will be displayed to the user when they click the button but before they are shown the object. For example if clicking the button will navigate the user to another area of the system, you might want to warn them first in case they have unsaved changes on the current page.
