 +==== Special Button Options ====
 +
 +Some actions of standard form buttons can be controlled using special options.  In all cases the options are accessed by clicking on the configuration (gear) icon on the desired button.
 +
 +=== Map To Enter Key ===
 +This option is found on the "Control Settings" tab when the button configuration is opened.
 +
 +{{:versago:form_buttons_1.png?600|}}
 +
 +When this option is selected, pressing the <Enter> key on a keyboard will be interpreted as having clicked the button.  This option is especially helpful when using barcode scanners that can automatically send a <CR><LF> sequence.  It then allows for "keyboard free" data entry.
 +
 +This option is only available on buttons that perform a "Save" action.
 +
 +=== Button Actions ==
 +These options are accessed by clicking the [Action] button on the "Control Settings" tab described above.
 +
 +{{ :versago:form_buttons_2.png?400 |}}
 +
 +Click on the "Action Name" as shown in the image.  This will expose the options described below.
 +
 +<WRAP center round alert 60%>
 +Only the options discussed below should be used.  Changing other options can cause the form to stop functioning when the designated button is clicked.
 +</Wrap>
 +
 +**Validate Error Message**
 +This is the text of the message displayed to the user when a error occurs during the save or delete process.  It can be changed if desired.
 +
 +**Validate Success Message**
 +This is the text of the message displayed to the user when a save or delete process is successful.  It can be changed if desired.
 +
 +**Suppress Submission Confirmation**
 +These options allow you to suppress the display of the "Validate Error Message" and/or "Validate Success Message" described above.
 +
 +  - Suppressing the success message can be helpful when using the "Map To Enter Key" option described earlier.
 +  - Caution should be used when considering suppression of error messages.  These messages generally alert the user that some required information is missing or there was some error that needs attention.
 +
 +To save your changes:
 +
 +  - Click [**Add\Update**] to save the Action Properties changes.
 +  - Click [**Save**] to save the overall button changes.
 +  - Click [**Save**] to save and close the Control Settings.
