Is there a way to get buttons to show up in the sidebar, instead of them being hidden behind the ••• menu up at the top? This would greatly improve the adoption of our best practices and the discoverability of the features we created. ---

Hello, @dragan Thanks for your feedback. The ability to change buttons position is in our plans. But can’t say exactly when it will be implemented. Anyway thanks for letting us know, it will effect the position of this feature in backlog. Thanks, Oleg ---

I totally upvote for this. In fact, I had been requesting this since last year. Thanks. ---

Related > [@\[DONE\] Add Action Buttons to Views](https://community.fibery.io/t/in-dev-add-action-buttons-to-views/1521): > > It would be quite useful to be able to add Action Buttons to a View. For example, in a Table view I could select a number of rows and click a Button to do something like “Change Status to Done” for all selected rows. I would also hope that in a Table view, if no rows had the checkbox checked, the Button script could still discern which row was the “current row” (i.e. has the input focus), and thus the script could act on that row “as if” it was selected – just to save us from always having to … ---

I think I had made a request to bring back the action button on the entity view, as it was in the early days. It’s more intuitive for the user to click on a button that acts on an entity in that entity itself, rather than … ---

Both my colleagues already provided some details, but I’ll also share some “backend” issues?tips?hidden secret knowledges?. As we’re working on Blocks, its implementation would entail Entity View full redesign. So if we change smth there (for example, will add Buttons, ability to hide fields, relation filed filtering and etc.), we would have to redesign it one more time (and for some cases full implementation will be required) So we do really note every request, and once the main work on Blocks would be finished, it will be much easier for us to prioritize some requests and give better eta, than “someday” 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/d/d94f53a1345f940add1ed250708e560f58fd7a62.png) So, this great feature has to wait a bit more before the kickstart (and on my own, I do also wait so much for it because that three dots pattern is definitely not my favorite one). And once there will be any progress, would be glad to notify you here 💖 ---

hi guys, as its related: is there a way to put action buttons in the left sidepanel too? like a shortcut to create stuff or initiate something? one example would be a “create new entity” with the “ask user” options active to quickly add new items. I added a log to quickly capture changes or events. and it would be awesome if a user could access that by simply clicking a button that is always visible instead of having to enter a view and then adding it there leaving his currently active work ---

creating a new entity is just one example. there is so much more possible with buttons i would say. but how would i make a form view “active” inside fibery? so that i functions like a button that asks for some details? (and i can set others to be filled automatically? button pressed user, dates, just as some quick examples) ---
