# Action buttons

{% embed url="<https://vimeo.com/463898482>" %}

Action buttons are a good way of making a clause more user friendly in documents. They can have three functions:

* execute a saved search
* browse a folder of your choosing
* present preselected clauses

This way, when the clause with the action button was included in a document, the action button gives the user a shortcut to add further relevant (sub)clauses to the document.

## Adding an action button to a clause

Start editing a clause (either in the *Browse Files* mode or in *Assemble Document*). In the navigation menu on the right, go to *Action Button*.

* **button caption** — Create a caption for the button (i.e. the text that will be visible on the button), optionally in multiple languages.
* **button position — Where the button should be positioned relative to this clause’s subclauses.**
* **hide button when — The button can optionally be hidden when at least one subclause exists.**
* **action** — Choose one of the three options described above.

## Tips for using action buttons

* Action buttons are especially suited for use when a clause can have several optional subclauses.
* When there is a high number of optional subclauses, it is preferable to use the option to browse to a folder. The contents of that folder can be easily managed (by removing or adding clauses to it) as well.
