Action Button Settings
Action Button Settings allow users to customize which action buttons are visible above a table — both in main tables and sub-tables.
This feature gives you precise control over the interface, making it cleaner and more role-specific.
It’s especially useful in multi-user environments, where different roles may require different levels of access to buttons like "Add", "Edit", "Export", etc.
Where to Find It
- Open any table.
- Hover your mouse over the top action bar (with buttons like Add, Edit, Export, etc.).
- On the right side of the action bar, you’ll see a gear icon (⚙️) appear — click on it.
- This will open the section:
"Customize table buttons – Action Button Settings"
What Can Be Configured
1. Button Visibility
You can enable/disable action buttons such as:
- Add record
- Duplicate
- Export
- Delete
- Import
- Refresh
2. Role-Based Visibility
You can configure button visibility based on user roles:
- For example, only Admins can see "Delete", while regular users see just "View" and "Edit".
3. Sub-table Settings
Button settings can also be applied to sub-tables within a detailed record view. This helps to simplify the interface when working with linked data structures.
Use Case Examples
- HR App: Customers only see the “View” button, while HR staff have access to “Edit” and “Export”.
- Helpdesk System: Agents can add comments but cannot delete tickets.
- Sensitive Data: Only privileged roles can use “Export” or “Print” for tables containing personal data.
Benefits
- Cleaner, simpler UI for non-technical users.
- Prevents unwanted or risky actions (e.g. accidental deletion).
- Enhances security, clarity, and role separation in shared environments.
