    • Call microflow button
    • Call nanoflow button
    • Open page button
    • Save button
    • Cancel button
    • Link button
    • Close page button
    • Delete button
    • Synchronize button
      Preconfigured Buttons
  • Drop-Down Button – shows a list of items, an action is performed when one of the items is clicked. A pop-up window with a list of possible actions appears when an end-user clicks a drop-down button:
