Introduction

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.

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