I am trying to create a button on a report on my resource table for each employee in my company to set them as a filter.  For some reason the button is blank even though I have display as a button checked.  Here is the code in case it is a code issue.  Any ideas?

URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_PROJECT_SOLUTIONS_REPORTING_FILTER] & "?a=API_EditRecord" &
"&rid=1" &
"&apptoken=c5gchf9bhwx6umbd2ii5zdqtb5x8" &
"&_fid_6=" & URLEncode([Email]) &
"&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/bpmjsbsnt?a=showpage&edit=1&pageid=24")

Ivan,

Any chance you cleared the box for the Text?

Move the app token down one line before the "&rdr

Hey Ivan,
I'm happy to see you're using your new API button skills!
This one has me a bit baffled too as I don't see any obvious issues with the formula.
If you still can't get the button to appear, send me an email :-)

I just noticed that the rdr is going to edit a page instead of view the page. You may want to change that since the users probably don't have permission to edit pages.  This is not related to the problem but it may be an oversight.
"&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/bpmjsbsnt?a=showpage&pageid=24")

When I use your code, field titles, and put 'something' in the link text label field the button shows up and works for me:


It replaced fid6 with [Email] and directed me to a page in "Customize this Page" mode when clicked.

Any chance your issue is related to permissions:

Or maybe it is being hidden by a dynamic form rule?
