Hi Lynne,
I was in your shoes about a month ago. A great resource that requires very minimal programming skills is Kirk Tratchy's magic button app within QuickBase. If you search for magic button you should be able to find it fairly easily, then from there his app has more buttons and button functions than most people will ever need. You can look at each button and copy past the code it makes buttons very easy. And even better he has a YouTube channel that help walk you through some of them.
I hope that helped,
Hank

------------------------------- Here is some code I used for a button. You can copy past this into a rich text formula. The first part of the code will allow you edit the size and the color of the button so you can make it literally any color. The second part of it edits the function of the button. In my case it redirects you to a new url. You will have to change the app token, FID, the [DBID_], and the url code.
//formatting visuals of button
var text bgcolor = "#34A853";
var text txtcolor = "white";
var text style = "style=\"text-decoration: none; background:" & $bgcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; padding: 8px 20px; color: " & $txtcolor & "; display: inline-block; font: normal 700 24px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-align: center; text-shadow: none;";
//Inner workings of button
var text url =
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_RFP_REQUEST_FORM] & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" &[Record ID#]
& "&apptoken=uwi4fb9cj4szcdzjnfxd5xz3te"
& "&_fid_148=2"
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode("https://divisionsinc.quickbase.com/db//brpms6hce?a=dbpage&pageID=19");
"<a " & $style & " href=\"" & $url & "\">Approve</a>"
