How to Create Cool Nav Buttons

Navigation Buttons

This table has one button in the “buttons” column that is created to do the task described under name. These buttons are called by rows near the bottom that do not have a “type” defined. In those rows, the button bar is created based on types of buttons defined in the table.
Look at
@Quick Add Buttons
⁠
or
@Date Nav
⁠
to see where these are built.
These two canvas formulas simply reference the two rows above that build the nav bars. I just use these two canvas fields and call them anywhere I want to see them duplicated.
Example: This top one is named Quick Add Button. So simply type = and then in the formula box put Quick Add Button and you’ll see the buttons added to the page.

By creating my buttons all in this table using formulas all I have to do is edit the button in ONE location and it changes them everywhere they are called!
I can also just call one button up easily. Like this.
