Actions and Bots for PDF Report

[EAHendrix]

I have an app I am working on and I am very new at this so please excuse my ignorance.

I have made and action to trigger a change in a table that will in turn cause a bot to generate a PDF. The problem I am having is that I do not know how to add button to trigger this action, how can I get this to pop up on my report views like the csv export?

A csv export action is not run in the context of a single record, but rather an entire view/table at once. This is what allows it to appear in "Overlay" prominence on a "collection" view (a view showing multiple records). Whereas a data change action only runs on a single record, and so it can not be shown as overlay on a collection view. If you're wanting to trigger from a collection view, you can potentially select a single record (long press it, or use the checkbox from upper-right) and run the action from the upper-right menu, or you can navigate into the detail view of a single record.
