If you need to move the button, select it and drag it to the desired location, as with any other layout

The button takes you to the Club List layout.

As you have just seen, you can use a button to perform a single command. To make FileMaker Pro perform a 
sequence of commands, use a script.

A script lets you construct a series of instructions for FileMaker Pro to perform. Like buttons, scripts allow 
you to automate most of the FileMaker Pro menu commands, as well as activate some commands not found 
in the FileMaker Pro menu structure. Simple scripts can perform a single task, while complex scripts might 
combine elements (such as user feedback and control) with programming techniques (such as branching and 
looping) to make powerful, dynamic instruction sets.

1. Choose Scripts menu > Manage Scripts.

2. Click 

 to create a new script.

3. In the Script Name text box, type Preview Labels Layout.

4. Select the Go to Layout script step and click the Move button. (You can also select and move script steps 

by double-clicking them.)

5. In the Script Step Options area, select the Labels layout next to Specify.
