2. In Editing View screen click on the Buttons tab and Add Button.
3. It will open a screen where you can set the button name, action path, icon and style for the Hot Button.
4. Once you have set the needed details, be sure to click Save at the bottom right of the screen and the buttons will appear next to the Actions button in your view:
