Action Buttons

Action Buttons are a Tier Type that can highlight an important link or links.

You have the ability to add a Google Icon to each link to make it stand out. There are several layouts for action buttons to choose from. Examples of the Action Option are located on our Advanced Page.

There are hundreds of icons to choose from on the Google Icon site. Once you have chosen your icon, click it and a menu will slide in. At the top of the menu, change the tab to Android. Copy the "keyword" for this icon. The keyword is in the lighter gray box.

Add a Tier. Go to Action Buttons in the Type dropdown. Pick one of the four Action Options available. Depending upon the option you choose there may be more options to pick. Check box for Display with Icons, to use icons on your button. 

Pick Icon Style and Icon Position. Add the Label name and Icon Keyword. Then you can pick you link Type

You can choose to have No Link and use the buttons for an interesting graphic element on your page. 

Event Buttons

Event Buttons is a Tier Type that allows you to highlight events and other items. 

On the tier under Type, choose Event Buttons. You have Content section in which you can add text before your events. Next you have a Type of Event Button option that will determine the type of button you build.

Ribbon Buttons

By selecting Ribbon as your button type you will see a new field appear called Event Buttons. You can add as many as you like by clicking the + on the top of the section. 

Each Event has a button out to the right side. You can change what that button says by changing the Button Type from the drop down or clicking into the box, deleting the words and typing in what you want it to say. Next you have the Event Title and Event Date. There is an Event Info field that you can add more information on your event. This field acts like a basic text field.

At the bottom of the section, you have the Internal or External Link option for your button. An example of the Event Buttons is located on the Advanced Page.

Image Blocks

By selecting Image Blocks as your button type you will see a new field appear called Event Blocks. You can select a Background Color and Number of Rows, one or two. There will be a field called First Row, you can add text into the Intro Text field if you have less that six images on this row. Under the First Row section, will be a section called Image Groups. You can add as many as you like by clicking the + on the top of the section. This is where you will add your Images, Title and Link Type. All of your images need to be 320 pixels x 320 pixels. You can have a maximum of six image blocks per row.

If there is a Second Row, you will see an option for Show Outro Before Row on Mobile. Here you can choose whether your Outro Text is above the Second Row on mobile. Everything else operates the same as the First Row instructions.

An example of the Image Blocks is located on the Advanced Page.

Popup Buttons

By selecting Popup Buttons as your button type you will see a few new fields appear called Icons, Button Color and Number of Buttons.
