I have a view in which I have fourteen actions defined. I would like to have a button for each on the action bar but I don’t like all the scrolling. Is there a way to have buttons show up on the action bar in multiple rows so that I don’t have to scroll at all? This is a Notes only application so I don’t have to worry at all about any kind of web interface.

You can create actions with ‘sub-action’ which will then show as a pull down list.
Use the function for in in your designer : Create - Action - Action with sub action.
You then get a main action that does nothing and ‘below it’ you may insert sub-actions. Settings enable you to choose the behaviour of the menu.
This way you may re-group action buttons is some logical way and reduce the need to scroll to the right.

Looks like the user is going to be happy with the actions on the dropdown menus. Thanks for your help.

Hi,I just wanted to let you know that the free version of Ytria actionBarEZ gives you a sort of visual ‘road map’ of all the actions and sub-menus in a database. I thought you might find this handy as it looks like you’re dealing with views with a lot of actions.
Good luck,
