Confirmation for function execution in buttons
Before executing actions such as deleting certain records, a confirmation for proceeding with it helps ensure you don’t delete important records by accident. Sometimes, you may never even realize that a record was deleted or that more than one record was accidentally deleted. In such instances, it is always safe to confirm the action request before execution.
Here are some of the scenarios where actions can have confirmation before they’re executed:
– Deleting
– Approving or Rejecting
– Changing Status
– Sending emails
