An Action button (called Image Button before 10.00) is a button that does one thing when clicked: open a report, switch a tab, reset filters, export the page and more.
Add a button
- In Components → Assists, click Action button, then click the canvas. A new button is 120 × 36 px with the text Button.
- On Style → Content, set the Button Text, font and an optional icon.
- On Actions → Action, choose the Click action and fill its settings.
- Test the button in Preview: in the editor a click only selects it.

Bind the button to data
New buttons need no data. Turn on Data → Data binding to show a value from the model on the button: choose Analysis model, Field and Filters. The first member of the field becomes the button text, can be mapped to an image, and is passed as a parameter when the button opens a report. Disable condition → When there is no data then greys the button out when the query returns nothing.
