General tab

This table shows the options of the General tab.

Option Description
Name By default, command buttons are named ButtonN, where N is a sequential number. You can specify a different name.
Caption Specify a label for the button in the Text field. The label will not be added to the Table of Names and Texts. To select a text from the translation table, or to create a translatable name, click the browse button adjacent to the Text field. The Texts dialog is displayed.
Note: In View mode, if the caption is too long for the button, both the beginning and end of the text are trimmed. But, in the web, only the end of the text is trimmed.
Tooltip Specify text to display as a tooltip.

Otherwise, select the option to refresh the report when the button is clicked, or select No function.

Writeback You can specify that clicking the button will writeback data in the web.
