There are three types of buttons you can add to the form: Reset button, Submit button and other Buttons.
Submit Button. This is the button that submits the form. Every form you want emailed to you must have a Submit button. When you group a form, you will receive an error message if your form does not have a Submit button.
Reset Button. When pushed, this button removes all of the information entered by the users and resets all the fields back to their original state.
Buttons. Buttons are used with custom scripts to perform various functions.
