<p>For web output, you can add a Text element to the report. Change the type of the Text element to HTML in the top dropdown. Add a <button> tag and then write JavaScript or jQuery code to execute your custom functionality when the button is clicked.</p>

<p>Thanks, Jeff! But I want to add a button in BIRT designer not the report. I want to call my custom Save function when I click this button.</p>

<p>I automatically added "on a report" when I read your post. Sorry about that. </p>

<p>I'm more familiar with the question I answered than the question you actually asked. In the Run menu there's an Eternal Tools command. I believe that is where you add functionality like you are describing but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.</p>
