Click to configure.
Enter a descriptive name for the button, select a color, and select the script that you want to run when the button is clicked.
For fields (script arguments) that are optional, you can define whether to show them to analysts when they click on buttons. To expose an optional field, select the Ask User checkbox next to the script argument(s) in the button settings page.
Note
The script that runs when an action button is clicked accepts only mandatory arguments through the pop up window and does not provide an option for any non-mandatory arguments to be filled in when the button is clicked. We recommend using a wrapper script to collect and validate arguments in scenarios where there can be a combination of mandatory and non-mandatory arguments for a button.
Save the layout.
