Add custom button in actions column in ng2-smart-table in Angular 2

Question

In an ng2-smart-table in Angular 2 I want to add a new button in the actions column and by clicking on this button it will route to another page. This code has the add, edit, and delete buttons. I tried to make the new button like this but it's not working:

settings = {

    add: {
      addButtonContent: '<i  class="ion-ios-plus-outline"></i>',
      createButtonContent: '<i class="ion-checkmark" ></i>',
      cancelButtonContent: '<i class="ion-close"></i>',
      confirmCreate: true
    },
    edit: {
      editButtonContent: '<i class="ion-edit"></i>',
      saveButtonContent: '<i class="ion-checkmark"></i>',
      cancelButtonContent: '<i class="ion-close"></i>',
      confirmSave: true
    },
    delete: {
      deleteButtonContent: '<i class="ion-trash-a"></i>',
      confirmDelete: true
    }, 

How can I add the button? I searched the documentation and I couldn't find anything related to this.

In my List component

actions: {
      columnTitle: 'Actions',
      add: false,
      edit: false,
      delete: true,
      custom: [
      { name: 'viewrecord', title: '<i class="fa fa-eye"></i>'},
      { name: 'editrecord', title: '&nbsp;&nbsp;<i class="fa  fa-pencil"></i>' }
    ],
      position: 'right'
    },

Then in the template

  <ng2-smart-table class="table table-hover" [settings]="settings" [source]="dataSet"
   (deleteConfirm)="onDeleteConfirm($event)"  (custom)="onCustomAction($event)">
  </ng2-smart-table>

This function helped me decide on what custom action to execute.

onCustomAction(event) {
      switch ( event.action) {
        case 'viewrecord':
          this.viewRecord(event.data);
          break;
       case 'editrecord':
          this.editRecord(event.data);
      }
    }

public editRecord(formData: any) {
      this.modalRef = this.modalService.open(AddProfileComponent);
      this.modalRef.componentInstance.formData = formData;
      this.modalRef.result.then((result) => {
        if (result === 'success') {
          this.loadData();
        }
      }, (reason) => {
      });
    }
    public viewRecord(formData: any) {
      this.modalRef = this.modalService.open(ViewProfileComponent);
      this.modalRef.componentInstance.formData = formData;
      this.modalRef.result.then((result) => {
        if (result === 'success') {
          this.loadData();
        }
      }, (reason) => {
      });
    }
