Add, Change, and Delete Add, Change, & Delete

The Add, Change, and Delete functions are consistent within any operating system but keyboard shortcuts may be customized to your preferences. Verify your keyboard equivalents for your exact shortcut by pulling down the Records menu column, underneath the window title bar.




Add a record

Choosing a menu selection displays an input window, but disabled.

 

If any data exists in the file, the first record is displayed automatically.

This allows the operator to immediately review the records using any of the shortcuts that are enabled.

Select the Add record  shortcut to activate the entry window and add a new record.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



Change (Edit) a record

As with Add, a menu selection displays an input window, but disabled.

Find the record you want to change then use the "Edit" shortcut.

 

When the first record is displayed,    the   Locate record , Next record , ” “ Last record , Prior record ,  or First record  shortcuts are enabled.

 Use any combination that works best to display a particular record in the entry window.

The most frequently used shortcut is " Locate record."  It offers the most options for searching and is most efficient.

Then choose the "Edit record" shortcut to enable and edit the record displayed

Delete a record

There are two basic options for deleting a record.

Deleting a master record is different than deleting a single line on a purchase order.

Deleting a single line of a transaction record allows you to un-delete it, too.

 

To delete an entire  transaction, order, or master record, display the record to be deleted using any available shortcut, use the Edit  shortcut to enable the record, then use the Delete record  shortcut to remove it completely.

The optional delete confirmation prompt  is defined as part of the Master Security.

 D eleting  a single line  of a multiple line type entry (journal, transaction, sales order, etc.), is quite different. 

Mark/block (don’t select) the line from the List selection  (usually the second displayed) window and use the Delete entry  shortcut from the General Menu column.

The line sequence record remains in the file and displayed in the window but is marked as deleted by the   x  to  the  right of the sequence number.

Repeat this procedure to ‘undelete’ any sequence number.
