Action Button 3
An Action button lets users send data through various means, such as print,
fax, beam, and e-mail. In many applications, users can also use the Action
button to duplicate and delete data that’s currently displayed. The location
of the Action button determines how much data is affected. If the Action
button is on a separator bar, it affects the information between that separator
bar and the next one. If the Action button is in a slip, it affects all the informa-
tion in the slip.
In a slip or on a status bar, the Action button goes next to the Close box
(except that in the backdrop application, which has no Close box, it goes at
the right end of the status bar). An Action button goes at the right end of a
separator bar. Figure 3-31 shows examples of Action buttons on a status bar,
on a separator bar, and in a slip.
