Key NHS Jobs 2 Concepts Actions buttons in lists: these buttons are green and are used to access any of the relevant actions that can be performed on that item at the time. Primary action buttons: these green buttons are used to perform the primary action on a page. Secondary action buttons: these grey buttons are used to perform actions within a page that assist you in working in that area. A grey button will also exist as a return button on most pages. Links: these are highlighted and underlined in blue. These will link you through to the relevant information, for example an application form or vacancy advert.
