# Add action buttons to clauses

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

Action buttons are an easy way to allow users to add pre-selected clauses with one single click. This is particularly useful if you want to allow the user to individually add clauses of a certain category, like in this example.

## Inserting an Action Button

In order to insert an action button, you need to first navigate to the clause where you want the button to appear. Double-click it to start editing it and in the menu on the right-hand side, click on *Action button*.&#x20;

* **Button caption**: This is where you insert the text that will be displayed on the button. Different versions can be made for different languages. Translations can also be generated.
* **Button position:** The button can be positioned either above, or below the selected sub-clause.
* **Button visibility:** This option allows you to hide a button when at least one sub-clause exists.
* **Action:** Here, you can choose which clauses should become available by clicking on the button. You can either:
  * *execute a saved search:* Choosing this allows you to save search criteria. This search will then always be executed when the button is clicked. The search results will be presented to the user
  * *browse selected folder:* If this option is selected, the user will be taken to the selected folder in the *browse* pane, enabling him to view the contents of that folder and add any clauses in there as relevant
  * *present preselected clauses:* Lastly, you can also individually select clause which will then be presented by clicking on the action button.
