Customizing Action Link Styles

You can apply one of three global styles to all action links in your application:

To customize action links:

1. Navigate to Themes → Global Styles
2. Locate the Action Links section
3. Select one of three styling options:
   • Filled Button – High visibility for primary actions
   • Outline Button – Softer emphasis for secondary actions
   • Link – Minimal underlined text (current default)
4. Set a custom color for your selected style
5. Click Save

Note: All new action links will adopt the style you select.

Label Customization

Labels identify fields in multiple view types, including List, Details, Search, Calendar, and Map views. You can customize how these labels appear to create clear visual hierarchy.

Available Customization Options

To customize labels:

1. Navigate to Themes → Global Styles
2. Locate the Labels section
3. Customize the following properties:

Toggle Labels on or off. When on:

Alignment

• Left
• Center
• Right

Style

• Regular
• Bold
• Semi-Bold
• Italic

Font Size

• Choose from available size options to establish visual hierarchy

4. Click Save

Note: Label customizations apply globally to all views that display labels.

Best Practices

Action Links

• Filled Buttons – Use for the most important action you want users to take, such as "Submit" or "Add Record"
• Outline Buttons – Use for supporting actions like "View Details" or "Cancel"
• Links – Use for less prominent actions or when you prefer a cleaner, minimal interface

Labels

• Alignment – Left-align for traditional forms; center-align for modern, streamlined layouts
• Bold styling – Creates clear visual separation between field names and values
• Font size – Establish hierarchy with larger labels for section headers and smaller labels for individual fields
