1 Introduction
When you log into a system it can often be useful to optimise your experience by putting links to the most common tools you would use.
For a number of years, the All n One team have been developing Big Button solutions for Main Menus and will continue to do so.
In order to facilitate clients being able to create usable similar replicas, we have implemented the Big Button engine.

3 Building a Button
All of the building and managing is done in the Control Bar module. 
Main Menu > Control Bar > Personal Links > My Big Buttons >
To make a button:
- Name: Type the name of your button. This is the button label. You're limited to 9 characters as this ensures all your text fits on the button.
- Image: Allows you to specify a custom image. Alternately you can use a pre-designed button. Just type in a numeric code, e.g. 11 and the system will translate the image.
- URL: The URL the page will go to when you click the button.
Try a simple example for yourself
- Name: Google
- Image: 11
- URL: http://www.google.ie
Click the "Add New" button. The box below will update and show you a sample of your Big Button bar.
Click one of the buttons below to edit it. Just remember to click "Edit Values" to save your changes.
You have a maximum of 15 buttons in total. The system will sensibly swap buttons around between 4 per row and 5 per row automatically to use the most space possible.
