How to add a multiple control zoom button

Note: To add a zoom button, you must be assigned to a user group that has a check in the System administrator rights field on the Special Rights tab of System Mgmt -> Setup -> Access Rights -> User Groups screen.

You can also use them to zoom in on elements that are composed of more than one value, such as work orders, which comprise three controls, or part IDs, which comprise two controls.
