Entering new records

 

Entering records at the main areas

 

New records may be added at the person and enrollment areas, and the Material area.  Click the Add New toolbar icon to display an intake page, also known as a data form, for that area.  Required fields are indicated with a red asterisk and must be entered prior to saving a record. 

 

Each intake page has four buttons at the bottom:

 

Save

saves the record and returns to the grid

 

Save and New

saves the record and returns to a blank intake page

 

Save and Go

saves the records and goes to the selected tab in the detail record

 

Cancel

cancels the intake and returns to the grid

 

 

 

At the cancel window:

 

      You may press enter, or click Yes to return to the grid.

      You may press Tab, then Enter, or click No to terminate the cancel operation.
