2.3.2. Record TitleThe title area for a record shows the title of the record, as well as a set of action buttons for modifying the record. Generally, when creating a new record, a "Create" button and a "Clear" button will be visible at the top. If an existing record is open, there will be "Save", "Delete", and "Reload" buttons.
- Create - After entering the required data (usually not more than the title is required), clicking the "Create" button will save the record and add it to the list.
- Clear - To reset the record form to its default empty state, click on the "Clear" button.
- Save - When modifying a record, it's changes can be canceled until the record is actually saved. The "Save" button becomes enabled when some piece of record data has been modified and clicking the button will save the changes.
- Delete - The "Delete" button will delete the record currently being viewed. Some record views contains list of other records. Keep in mind that clicking "Delete" will delete the open record shown in the title, and not any listed or related record.
- Reload - The "Reload" button is similar to the clear button. It will discard any changes and reload the saved record.
To create a new record, clink on the "New Record" button, e.g. the New Project button. A click on the New Project button prepares the form for entering information regarding the new Project. Note that clicking the Create button will save the new Project. Also, to clear the form, use the Clear button.
