Button components

Button components provide the most common Guide actions.

AddPanelButton:

• The current panel can repeat.

• Adding a new panel does not conflict with the maximum occurrence value of the associated subform object on the form.

CopyPanelButton:

Creates a copy of the currently selected panel and adds it to the list of repeating panels. This button is available only when the following statements are true:

• The current panel can repeat.

• Adding a copy of the current panel does not conflict with the maximum occurrence value of the associated subform object on the form.

NextPanelButton:

Displays the next panel in the Guide tree. If the current panel is the last panel in the tree, this button is not available.

PreviousPanelButton:

Displays the previous panel in the Guide tree. If the current panel is the first panel in the tree, this button is not available.

RemovePanelButton:

Removes the current panel from the list of repeating panels. This button is available only when the following statements are true:

• The current panel can repeat.

• Removing the current panel does not conflict with the minimum occurrence value of the associated subform object on the form.

SubmitButton:

Displays a submit button, but only when the current panel is the last panel in the Guide tree. When clicked, this button performs one of the following actions. The action depends on the values selected in the Submit From list in the Guide Properties view in Workbench:

Guide

(Default) Data submission depends on where the Guide is running. If the Guide is running in a browser, the submit button appears in the navigation button area, where the Next and Previous buttons appear. Typically it appears on the last visible panel in the Guide. When the Guide runs in Workspace, no submit button appears on the Guide, and the data is submitted from a button on the Workspace chrome.

Interactive PDF

Submits the data from an interactive PDF document. This option is available when the Guide is based on an XDP form that includes an interactive PDF form. When you select this option, a Submit From PDF button appears in the navigation button area. Clicking this button switches the view to the interactive PDF document, which must include a Submit button. The Submit From PDF button appears in all environments where the Guide can run, such as Workspace or a browser. No other submit button appears in the navigation button area of the Guide or in the Workspace chrome.

User Button

Submits the data from a button that you add to a panel in the Guide. This submit button appears in all environments where the Guide can run. No other submit button appears in the navigation button area of the Guide or in the Workspace chrome.

Note: In Guides based on XDP or PDF forms, Email Submit Buttons are not supported.

Host:

Specifies that data is submitted from the application that is hosting the Guide, such as Workspace. The submit button appears on the Workspace chrome, under the Guide. There is no submit button in the navigation button area of the Guide.
