1 00:00:00,410 --> 00:00:04,638 The last thing I'm going to do is show you how to use buttons in Coda to trigger 2 00:00:04,638 --> 00:00:08,090 actions and other app-like functions inside of a doc. 3 00:00:08,090 --> 00:00:13,236 As a simple example of how this works, we'll create a button that makes it 4 00:00:13,236 --> 00:00:18,470 easy to add a new sample doc from the Coda Gallery to our Coda Use Cases page. 5 00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:24,698 Go to Coda Use Cases, which is a sub page of the Coda Resources page, 6 00:00:24,698 --> 00:00:27,260 in the My Resources section. 7 00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:31,306 This is where we've listed many great examples of how Coda is used in different 8 00:00:31,306 --> 00:00:33,740 companies in real life scenarios. 9 00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:36,987 Let's create a button, that makes it easy for 10 00:00:36,987 --> 00:00:42,160 you to add any docs you may find helpful in the Coda gallery, to this list. 11 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,173 Coda makes this really quick and easy with the slash command. 12 00:00:45,173 --> 00:00:49,445 At the top of the table, type /add on the canvas. 13 00:00:49,445 --> 00:00:53,018 Then select the Add Row button option. 14 00:00:53,018 --> 00:00:58,925 In the button settings, rename the button, "Add new doc". 15 00:00:58,925 --> 00:01:03,388 Rename the label, "Add new doc". 16 00:01:03,388 --> 00:01:07,236 Then select the Sample Coda docs table, 17 00:01:07,236 --> 00:01:13,473 you can change the size of the button and the color if you'd like. 18 00:01:13,473 --> 00:01:19,507 For example, I'll change the size to Medium and the color to Yellow. 19 00:01:19,507 --> 00:01:25,528 You could also add an icon like a plus (+) symbol for example. 20 00:01:25,528 --> 00:01:31,622 Finally, scroll up to Open row for editing and click to toggle it on. 21 00:01:31,622 --> 00:01:35,953 Then click anywhere on the canvas to close the button settings window. 22 00:01:38,011 --> 00:01:41,479 Now you can click the new button to add a new doc. 23 00:01:41,479 --> 00:01:46,411 Notice the pop-up window with the number of empty fields waiting to be filled in 24 00:01:46,411 --> 00:01:50,840 like Doc name, Link, Company, Doc maker, Description, and so on. 25 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:56,124 With the pop-up window still open I'll head over to coda.io/gallery 26 00:01:56,124 --> 00:01:59,353 and search for a doc I'm interested in. 27 00:01:59,353 --> 00:02:02,100 I'm going to type in "5 ways" and 28 00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:07,498 bring up the 5 ways to get the most out of one-on-ones doc. 29 00:02:07,498 --> 00:02:10,865 This looks like a great doc to add to my list. 30 00:02:12,262 --> 00:02:17,655 Over in the Doc name field, I'll add the title of the doc, 31 00:02:17,655 --> 00:02:21,851 5 ways to get the most out of one-on-ones. 32 00:02:21,851 --> 00:02:28,069 I'll enter Coda for Company, and Raechel Timme for Doc maker. 33 00:02:32,629 --> 00:02:36,717 For Description, I'll add the text "Great one on one template". 34 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:47,692 Then I'll copy the URL of the one-on-ones doc and paste the URL into the link field. 35 00:02:48,064 --> 00:02:52,901 Finally, I'll click the Show hidden columns link to bring 36 00:02:52,901 --> 00:02:56,649 up a few more fields. 37 00:02:56,650 --> 00:03:04,026 Under use case, I'll enter "1-on-1s". 38 00:03:04,027 --> 00:03:06,240 Then select "Talent Development" from 39 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,750 the options in the Type drop down. 40 00:03:13,392 --> 00:03:17,285 Notice how in the bottom of this window, you and 41 00:03:17,285 --> 00:03:21,203 others you share this workbook with can add comments about this doc. 42 00:03:21,203 --> 00:03:24,701 Now click the X at the top right of this window to close it. 43 00:03:26,792 --> 00:03:31,179 I can find my new sample doc in the Talent Development column. 44 00:03:31,179 --> 00:03:33,676 There it is, good. 45 00:03:39,276 --> 00:03:43,601 As you've learned, buttons are an easy way to turn your docs into apps. 46 00:03:43,601 --> 00:03:48,541 Not only can you perform simple actions like adding a new row to a table, but 47 00:03:48,541 --> 00:03:50,974 when used with other integrations, 48 00:03:50,974 --> 00:03:55,455 you can, with a click of a button in Coda, send a Slack or Gmail message, 49 00:03:55,455 --> 00:03:59,467 perform calculations, generate random numbers or words, and much more. 50 00:04:05,545 --> 00:04:08,047 Now that you've learned Coda's building blocks and 51 00:04:08,047 --> 00:04:11,938 got a quick tour of a learning doc and how to customize it, you're ready to learn new 52 00:04:11,938 --> 00:04:17,100 tools, programming, languages and concepts that are essential to your career in tech. 53 00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:20,571 With Coda, not only will you get the most out of this workbook and 54 00:04:20,571 --> 00:04:22,560 your Treehouse experience, 55 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,860 you'll have a powerful tool to take with you into your
