Use the **`Button`** element when you need the user to trigger an action on your page.
This action can encompass a variety of tasks such as form submission or data processing.
With [Page Flow](/app-editor/page-flow.md), you can define the desired actions. If you're working with forms, there is already a pre-configured Submit button element available to conveniently submit your form. Additionally a pre-configured Reset button is also available to clear the contents of all the field inputs.

## Options
The [Options tab](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md#options-tab) settings for this element are described below:
### `Button Content`
Specify what you want the button to say using this setting. You can enter some simple HTML code here. We also support [Font Awesome 6](https://fontawesome.com/v6/search?o=r\&m=free) icons.
### `Button Look`
Select from a pre-defined list of background and text colors for the button look. For any other customizations see [here](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md).
### `Button Size`
Select from a pre-defined list of sizes. For any other customizations see [here](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md).
### `Button Action`
This is an advanced parameter that translates to the [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.6/getting-started/introduction/) **`data-toggle`** attribute. The [Popup Menu Style1](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style1.md), [Popup Menu Style2](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style2.md) and [Menubar Popup Menu](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-popup-menu.md) elements use this by setting the value to ***`dropdown`***. You can also use this to control a [Collapsible Area](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/collapsible-area.md) element by setting the value to ***`collapse`***.
### `Action Target`
This is an advanced parameter that translates to the [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.6/getting-started/introduction/) **`data-target`** attribute. The value is set to the Element ID of the element to be controlled. To find the Element ID see [here](/app-editor/page-editor/page-element-settings.md#advanced-tab).
{% hint style="info" %}
The Element ID needs to be prefixed with a # character. This is also known as ID selector syntax. For more information click [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/ID_selectors).
{% endhint %}
### `Popup Menu Icon`
Enable this if you want a :arrow\_down\_small:arrow to appear next to the content to indicate that it will invoke a popup menu. The [Popup Menu Style1](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style1.md), [Popup Menu Style2](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/popup-menu-style2.md) and [Menubar Popup Menu](/app-editor/page-editor/built-in-elements/menubar-popup-menu.md) elements turn this setting on.
