Buttons
Use the Button component to add interactivity to your dashboard. By itself, the component carries standard functions such as bookmark, reset filters, print report, or logout. Alternatively, a button can be coupled with a View Holder to create dynamic content.
On a View, you create a View Holder and assign it to a button.
