While command buttons are used for immediate actions, more information might be needed to perform the action. If so and the button is shown with a text, this is indicated by an ellipsis at the end of the button label.
Some forms (usually modal forms) define a default command button that is invoked when the users presses the Enter key. A default button is invoked when pressing Enter even if the button does not have focus.
Many command buttons have an associated tool tip. Hover over the command button to display the tool tip.In this documentation we refer to command buttons with the label text of the button. E.g. click on Login.
