# Configuring button settings for a step of the workflow

Users can take actions at a particular step of the workflow by clicking pre-defined buttons. Let us understand how these buttons are defined with custom properties.

As given in the [**Overview**](https://docs.senpiper.com/workflow-builder/introduction/overview)***,*** we have [**initiated the workflow**](https://docs.senpiper.com/workflow-builder/introduction/how-to-add-a-new-workflow), [**defined conditions**](https://docs.senpiper.com/workflow-builder/how-to-create-workflows/defining-conditions-for-a-step) and [**updated the status**](https://docs.senpiper.com/workflow-builder/how-to-create-workflows/define-workflow-step/updating-status-and-defining-future-actions-buttons) for step 1.  Now the next task to complete step 1 would be adding the following buttons.

* Two buttons **Approve** and **Reject** should be made visible in the form to the **Manager**.
* An **Update** button should be made visible in the form to the initiator for 15 minutes after submission in case, they want to make any changes.

1\.    For adding a button for a step, click **Define Future Actions**. \
Let us continue with the settings configured for the node created in the [**Updating the status for a step of the workflow**](https://docs.senpiper.com/workflow-builder/how-to-create-workflows/define-workflow-step/updating-status-and-defining-future-actions-buttons) section.

2\.    Since, we want to create 3 buttons, click **Add New Button**.\
&#x20;The button details and settings window is displayed. You can select the settings as required by your business process.
