Custom Button with Assignments

TeamDesk allows you to add special assignments to custom buttons. Each assignment involves updating a column value that is performed when a custom button is clicked.

For example, let’s say you are registering customers’ orders. When an order is complete, the "Delivery Status" has to be changed to "Complete," and the current date/time should be recorded in the "DateTime Order Complete" field. Furthermore, the "Complete" custom button should only be visible for records where the delivery status is not "Complete."

Button Example

The custom button and the assignment settings used in the example above are displayed below:
