Steps to add page navigation with a button

For this example, we'll create a button that includes text and an image. Note that the image is optional, buttons can also be text only.

  1. Start a new User-created report or open an existing report
  2. Open the Button menu:REPORTING_ButtonMenu.png
  3. Select the Blank button type. A new button will appear in the top left of the canvas. Move to the preferred position on the canvas
  4. In the Format Button panel, select to expand the Style menu (the Button must be selected for this menu to appear):REPORTING_FOrmatBUtton_Style2.png
