Introduction

New Feature

This is a new feature in Joget DX 8.

Button is a page component where App Designers can embed a hyperlink for end users to access other windows (or webpages).

To make it workable, the link of the window is needed so that end users is directed to that particular window after clicking the Button.

Get Started

Check out how Button works by testing it in the built-in Joget DX 8 Showcase app.

  1. Login as Admin and click the Pencil icon on Joget DX 8 Showcase to open the App Composer.



  2. Click into the Joget DX 8 Showcase UI to create an environment for testing the Button.

  3. Drag and drop the Rich Text UI element into the New In DX 8 category (or anywhere you like).

  4. You can name your Label and Menu ID to something meaningful, and write a description in the Content of your Button demo menu



  5. Now that our Button testing environment is all set, we can click into Edit Page Components to check out the Button page component.

  6. Drag and drop the Button page component into the page for editing.



  7. Provide the Button with meaningful Label and ID.

  8. Copy paste the link of App Center window and set is as the Hyperlink.
