    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.

    2. Choose the required form that you want to open on click of the button.

    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.
