You configure a floating action button by adding and modifying the Button control on the main content section of your page. With the floating action button at the bottom of the page, users can trigger the primary action on a page with one convenient tap. A page can have only one floating action button, so only the last one that you add appears in the mobile app at run time.

   2. In the action set configuration window that opens, click Create an action set.
   3. Click Add an eventClick.
      Note: The floating action button supports only the Click event.
   4. Click Add an actionAll actions, and then select an action that you want to use in your floating action button.For example: In your mobile app, you have a page that lists all expense reports that users submit. You want the floating action button on this page to trigger an important constructive action, for example, the Create Work action that launches a new expense report flow when users tap the floating action button. You can use the Expenses-Work-Report class that references your expense reporting case. If your case type includes the Create stage, you can omit entering the flow name that launches a new flow. You can also choose the out-of-the-box pyCreateCaseSkeleton skeleton that acts as a transition stage when a new case is created. During that transition, the mobile app displays the skeleton, while the server works on rendering and displaying the user interface of the case in the client.
