→New “Special – Button” Custom Field with Configurable Open Behavior
====New “Special – Button” Custom Field with Configurable Open Behavior====
Introducing the new 'Special – Button' custom field, which allows users to create an inline button within an application to launch system functions such as the assignment grid, activity scheduler, or an easy way to edit an organization's profile. This field allows you to choose whether the functionality opens in the main window, a modal window, or a new tab. This approach simplifies access to system features and helps users maintain context, offering a more streamlined solution compared to customizing a browser script button for this purpose. To use this new custom field, go to UTA Configuration Settings > Level 1 tab > Custom Fields > Create or edit a custom field with the Field Type set to "Special - Button". Click the "URL Lookup" button beside the URL field to specify the system object you want the button to open. The "Open in" field allows you to select the open behavior.
[[File:2024-11-ticket-158590-1.png|thumb|none|800px|The new "Special – Button" custom field settings page is displayed which enables you to place a button directly on records to launch functionality within a modal window. For example, you can add a button on an application to let users easily edit their organization profile without leaving the page. You can also include a custom confirmation message.]]
