Visibility

In Axiom forms, the command used does not impact whether the button is visible or enabled.

Remarks

For more information about using Dialog Panel components, see Dialog Panel component for Axiom forms. The overall behavior and setup still apply when using the command. The only difference is that you are using a command to open the Dialog Panel component, instead of using a button behavior.

The command is available so that you can open a Dialog Panel from components that do not support button behaviors, such as the KPI Panel or an icon in a data grid. For example, you can use the Show Form Dialog Panel command in the [Command] column of the KPISource data source, to open a dialog from a KPI box.
