Overview
SmartSimple offers the ability to define multiple submit buttons against individual statuses within a UTA.
The buttons can also be configured so that they are presented to subsets of users, perform certain validation checks and can push the event to a specific status.
Configuration - Essentials

| Order | This is the order in which the button will appear on the screen, with lower numbers appearing further to the left of the screen. |
| Caption | This is the text that will appear on the button. Typically, you would name the button after the action that is triggered by the button. Example: If a button sends applications into Approved status, we will give it the caption "Approved". |

| Submit to Status | This is the status that the entity should be updated to after clicking on the button. Use this dropdown to select the destination status of the submit button. |
| SmartCheck Validation | Select the SmartCheck Validation method required for the button. This is used to attach custom validation conditions to this button, prohibiting users from proceeding without meeting the custom SmartCheck Validation conditions specified. |
