Fields with Pushbuttons, Actions, and Icons

In the fields of a list various function elements can be embedded: pushbuttons, actions, and icons.

• A pushbutton is a graphical element with which a function is always connected. If a pushbutton is clicked at runtime, an event is triggered automatically.
• On the other hand, an action enhances a simple table field to a field with a clickable function ('link to action'). A simple click on such a table field then leads to the triggering of an event. If an action was implemented for a table field, the content of the field is then shown highlighted.
• An icon is a graphical element (for example, a traffic light symbol) that does not have any action function of its own. However, it can be given an additional text (tooltip).
