Conditional Button

Question

I have a button I've created for use in my forms that saves the current record/changes and then exits to the dashboard.My question is, can I make this button's destination conditional in the sense that I'd like it to return to the dashboard specific to a user's role.&nbsp; For example my dashboard as Admin may be different than that of a Participant.Here is my current button code:
"&lt;a style=\"width:310px; text-align: center; background-color: #0274be; color: #fff; padding: 10px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; border-radius: 4px; margin-left: -50px; text-transform: uppercase; \" onclick='DoSaveAdd()' href='https://MY ADMIN DASHBOARD URL'&gt;Save Changes &amp; Exit&lt;/a&gt;"

//Saves changes and exits to the dashboard​
Thanks in advance for any insights.------------------------------Chris Hesenflow------------------------------

The url below will go to the home page of the app, which then be automatically how the users Role is set. Does that work for you?

urlroot() & "db/" & appid()

Thanks, Mark.&nbsp; &nbsp;And this is where I get screwed up every time with syntax.&nbsp; How would I place that code into my URL?&nbsp; (sorry, stupid question, I suppose). As soon as I add in the "db/" with quotations, it throws an extra characters error at me.urlroot() &amp; "db/" &amp; appid()"&lt;a style=\"width:310px; text-align: center; background-color: #0274be; color: #fff; padding: 10px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; border-radius: 4px; margin-left: -50px; text-transform: uppercase; \" onclick='DoSaveAdd()' href='https://MY ADMIN DASHBOARD URL'&gt;Save Changes &amp; Exit&lt;/a&gt;" //Saves changes and exits to the dashboard​------------------------------Chris Hesenflow------------------------------

Chris, can you test two things for me so I can add that to my fully reliable tricks.Does it definitely actually save the data and not just say it saves the data.If there is a grid edit child record report on the parent and you save, does it also correctly save the children changes and not just say that it did.I had some previous code that I was using where the yellow message would come up to say that it was saving but in fact it was not saving. I just want to be sure that this code actually performs as advertised.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)Quick Base Solution ProviderYour Quick Base Coachhttp://QuickBaseCoach.commark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------
