The button component is a flexible component that can enable end-users to:

• Run processes
• Filter / change reports and variables

• Open / navigate to different pages

Common Use Properties

To run Processes

• Process Name Property Enter the name of the process desired to run upon clicking the button.

• Process Arguments Property If the related process entered in the Process Name Property requires arguments, determine their value using the following syntax: processVariable=value

  If the process has multiple arguments, separate with an ampersand like below: processVariable=value&processVariable2=value2

To Filter / change reports and variables

• Set Context Property Set Context allows the component to change a card's context when the component is clicked.

  Example: To change the element shown from the "Scenario" dimension, the formula could appear as below.

  IF( 
      ELEMENT("Scenario")= "Actual",
      "Scenario=Live Forecast",
      "Scenario=Actual"
  )

• Set Variable Property Set Variable allows the component to change a variable when the component is clicked. Example:

  IF( 
      VARIABLE("var1")= "123",
      "var1=456",
      "var1=123"
  )
