Testing Buttons

Testing Buttons Is Fun And Important

When you're ready to put a button on a page, it is almost always useful to test what it might do on the page you're currently on - especially if you're using variables.

Variable Resolution

When you test a button, AppButtons will attempt to resolve your variables relative to the page you're currently on which may not be the page that this button is intended for. That's OK.

Remember that if you use variables in your actions, they will always resolve relative to that page that you click the button on. For example, if you're on a record in a CRM when you're making a button and there is an email field you're using in a variable, it doesn't matter what its value is on the current page - it might even be empty - but it will always resolve to the value it is on the page where you click.

If you use variables for an email or URL field, you maybe get an alert when testing if the variables don't resolve to a real email or URL on this page. But that may not be a problem if you're sure that they'll be real emails or URLs on the pages where this button will eventually be clicked.
