Brainstorm - best practice for button placement

mtMay 17 2022

I was using IR, placing buttons to the right of the IR bar. I've switched to classic reports, usually with a Smart Filter above the classic report, with a region to the right of the Smart Filter for buttons. I like it. It's clean and works fine for my needs.
For some classic reports, I don't need the Smart Filter (eg, a contact will only have a handful of email addresses), but I do need at least one button (to insert a new record). My options seem to be:
include the Smart Filter, to keep visual consistency to other pages, and, because just 'cause I think I don't NEED the filter, it's safer to have it
have the button hanging out all by its lonesome, above the report; I don't love this, as the reports are usually in a tab container, and I don't like the look of the tab title, then the button, then the report
ditch the button, and include a column in the classic report to add a new record
Any other ideas? Thank you
