An Action Button’s Location 7
The scope of an Action button determines where it should be located. If an
Action button can affect all the data in a view, it should go at the bottom
right corner of the view, next to the view’s Close box. For example, the main
view of the Names File application has one Action button, and it affects all
data in the view. In the backdrop application, which has no Close box, the
Action button goes at the bottom right corner of the application’s main view.
Figure 7-5 shows examples of views with one Action button each.
