Reporting - Add page navigation with a button

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:
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):
5. Toggle the Text option to 'On' and enter the required text:
6. Set the Icon option to 'On'
7. Select Icon type Custom:
8. Select Browse and upload the image you would like to use. Pro tip: For this example, we grabbed an 'eye' image from the icon options in MS365 
9. Set the Image fit as Normal:
10. Set Icon Placement as Left of Text.
11. Toggle the Border option to 'Off':
12. Toggle the Shadow option to 'Off'
13. Open the Action menu
