Adding an Action Button to an Action Button Panel

Once you have added one or more Action Button panels to a Neovest Filter window, you may begin to add Action Buttons.

The following instructions explain how you may add an Action Button to an Action Button panel in a Neovest Filter window:

Click with the right mouse button on an Action Button panel. Select Button/Action Setup from the menu that appears.

Once the "Define Button" box appears, enter the name in the "Button Title" field that you wish to give the new Action Button. (In the following example, "My Filter" is used as the name.)

Click on the filter action in the "User Defined Actions" field that you wish to assign to the current Action Button, and click OK. This will add the new Action Button to the Action Button panel in the Neovest Filter window.

Note: For information regarding how to create filter actions and have them appear in the "User Defined Actions" section, refer to the "Assigning an Action" section in the "Filter" chapter of Neovest's Help documentation.

The "Define Button" box contains several features that let you further customize a specific Action Button.

The following table provides descriptions of the features in the "Define Button" box:

Feature:	Description:
Button Title	Lets you enter a name for the Action Button.
Text Color	Lets you change the text color of an Action Button. Once you click on the square to the right of "Text Color," you will access the "Choose a Color" box. The "Choose a Color" box contains three tabs: "Swatches," "HSB," and "RGB." The "Swatches" tab lets you select one of several color "swatches" to replace an Action Button's existing text color. The "HSB" and "RGB" tabs let you edit the color of the selected swatch. If at any time you do not like the color of the swatch you selected or you do not like the color changes you have made to the swatch itself, click Reset to return to the Action Button's default color.
Background Color	Lets you change the background color of an Action Button. Once you click on the square to the right of "Background Color," you will access the "Choose a Color" box. The "Choose a Color" box contains three tabs: "Swatches," "HSB," and "RGB." The "Swatches" tab lets you select one of several color "swatches" to replace an Action Button's existing background. The "HSB" and "RGB" tabs let you edit the color of the selected swatch. If at any time you do not like the color of the swatch you selected or you do not like the color changes you have made to the swatch itself, click Reset to return to the Action Button's default background color.
Button Action	Displays the filter action assigned to an Action Button. You may at any time change the action assigned to an Action Button simply by clicking on a different action in the "User Defined Actions" section.
Add Action	Lets you add a new filter action to the "User Defined Actions" section. Once you click Add Action, you will access the "Create New Action" box. For information regarding the features in the "Create New Action" box, refer to the "Assigning an Action" section in the "Filter" chapter of Neovest's Help documentation.
Delete Action	Lets you delete the highlighted filter action in the "User Defined Actions" section.
Edit Action	Lets you edit the highlighted filter action in the "User Defined Actions" section. Once you click Edit Action, the "Local Filter Setup" box will appear, which will let you edit the filtering criteria that comprises the filter action. For more information regarding specifying filtering criteria for a particular filter action, refer to the "Assigning an Action" section in the "Filter" chapter of Neovest's Help documentation.
Duplicate Action	Lets you duplicate the highlighted filter action in the "User Defined Actions" section. Once you click Duplicate Action, Neovest will duplicate the highlighted filter action and add a "1," "2," or "3," etc. (depending on the number of times the filter action has been duplicated) to the end of the duplicated filter action's name.
Rename Action	Lets you rename the highlighted filter action in the "User Defined Actions" section. Once you click Rename Action, the "Rename Action" box will appear. Simply enter the new name that you wish to give the highlighted filter action, and click OK.
