As mentioned before one button could be added , both as a 'list' and a 'inside'. It can be demonstrated when going to that specific button. . Open it and then instead of saying 'list in Target', say both. Click save.

First go and look at the code to see where the button has been added, If 'Look' is opened in the 'View', an 'view.html.php' is opened, and you go to 'Add Toolbar'. It can be seen that it has added a custom button 'getDone' and 'getTested' to the view.

It is going to look in the 'Look' controller and get this 'getTested' method. <<<<<<< As mentioned before one button could be added , both as a 'list' and a 'inside'.

It also adds a permissional switch to the button. If this specific user does not have the right to use the 'Worked' button, then it will not show the button. If those permission structures is carried through to the controller, it will stop it even from being executed, manually via URL. It is necessary to be familiar with this kind of security and implementation.

It is necessary to know how to check that permission as well. (See Video) That is showing how the button gets added into the view, and where that code is. If in Joomla a component is opened and 'Looks'is opened. 'Tested' will be seen to be still there. If 'Edit' is opened 'Tested' may be seen there as well, and if it is clicked, it will take us to the dashboard and perform the same function as it would have if we had clicked there(The Test).[00:20:53](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyBxWpJWb40&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h20m53s) That is to show that one button can be added to both the List view as well as the Edit view of the back end Admin area.
