Discussion
Action Buttons can be placed in the Grid or Detail View toolbars or any free-form edit region that surround the Search, Grid, or Detail View parts. You can create event handlers for Action Buttons using Action Javascript or custom JavaScript code.
Action Buttons are often used to add buttons to the toolbar to perform an action for the selected row, on all records in the Grid component, or open another component.
