# Event Button Form Component

## Overview

The **Event Button** is a Form component configured to trigger an event within the Form session. The Event Button does not create a separate outcome path for the Form as a normal Button would, this is because the Event Button exists to perform the specified action on the Form itself. This feature tremendously expands the use cases of Forms in that actions can happen on the Form session without proceeding in the main Flow.

## Example

This example will build on the example built in the [Using Active Form Flows to Set Control Value](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/set-form-control-values?highlight=Using%20Active%20Form%20Flows%20to%20Set%20Control%20Value) article. This example will add an Event Button to the Form.

1. In the **Toolbox**of the Form Designer, expand **Actions > Events**.
2. Drag and drop an **Event Button** to the Form. Name the Button "Add".

3. Select the workspace and navigate to the Form **Properties**.
4. Under **FORM RULES > Active Form Flows**, select the plus icon next to the previously created [Active Form Flow](/v7/docs/using-active-form-flows-to-set-control-value).
5. In the Edit Active Form Flows dialog under Advanced > Triggers, uncheck the triggers under both Number Boxes.
6. Select EventButton and check Click as the trigger.
