# Creating an action from a button or a link

## Overview

In the Avonni Data Table, it's possible to set a column data type as a button, where the data is displayed as a clickable button. This type of column allows users to trigger actions by clicking on the button, such as opening a related page or performing an action on the associated data. The button column data type provides a clear and intuitive way for users to interact with the data and perform these actions.

## How do I add a button?

* Add a new column&#x20;
* Select **Button** as type
* Enter the button information like the label and name

{% hint style="info" %}

* The label name can be set as the value of a field (by selecting a field name)
* Entering a name value is essential to [set up an action](/flow/component-builder/interactions-panel.md) on that button.
* Set the variant to base if you want to mimic a link

## Create the interaction

Once your button is created, create an interaction by going to the interaction tab.
