Adding a Submit Button

PerfectForms™ Help Guide > Designing a Form > Laying Out a Form > Adding Objects to your Form >

When the Submit button is clicked, the data is sent to a server and the form closes. See the Submit Button Properties reference table for a complete list of this button's properties and their uses.

Note: A Submit Data behavior command is also available and can be added to Picture objects in order to make them act like Submit buttons. This expands your ability to customize the look and feel of your form. See the Submit Data Properties reference table for more information.

To add a Submit button:

1.	With a form loaded in the Form Designer, expand the Common Visuals section of the Toolbox.

2.	Drag and drop a Submit button object onto the form.

On the Properties bar, you can specify what should occur after a successful submission. Turn on the Success Message property to present the user with a confirmation dialog after a successful submit. Additionally, under the Advanced section, you can specify an action for the form after the user successfully submits the instance, including loading a URL and re-opening the current instance.

Note: The Submit Button object only submits data when the button is clicked. If you require additional behavior when a user submits their request (such as mandatory field checking), use the basic Button object instead.
