    2. You can also click to select the snippet and then click the Configure option in the toolbar at the top-center of the page builder.

  5. Drag and drop a button element onto the builder. Its Configuration pane will slide in from the right.
  6. Alternatively, if you have an existing button in the builder:
    1. Double click the button you want to configure.
    2. You can also click to select the button and then click the Configure option in the toolbar at the top-center of the page builder.
    3. Enter a suitable name for the button in the Display tab.

    1. Select the Action type as Open form.
    2. Choose the required form that you want to open on click of the button.
    3. Specify the query parameter as zc_LoadIn=embed-openform, where openform is the name of the <div> container you'd mentioned above.
    4. Select Same window under Open in.

  8. Repeat the above steps 3-6 for the other two buttons Food Complaint and Restroom Complaint.
  9. Close the Panel Configuration pane. The changes will be saved automatically.
When you access your page in the live app, the Add Complaints form will be displayed in the HTML snippet container. When a user clicks the button Raise Water Complaint, the respective complaint form will load as a popup.

    1. If you're specifying your Creator app component's URL, it should be in the following format—the zc_LoadIn parameter will work only with Creator component URLs appended to hash (#).
      openUrl("#Form:Order_Details?zc_LoadIn=embed-myform","same window");
