The application will need a Stock Count register, which will be a register with some header fields and a matrix or grid. The header fields (Number, Date and Location) will contain information that is only required once per Stock Count record.

To enter a new Register Definition, click [New] in the Button Bar or use the Ctrl-N (Windows) or ⌘-N (Macintosh) keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, highlight a Register Definition similar to the one you are about to design and click [Duplicate] in the Button Bar. The 'Register Definition: New' window opens, empty if you clicked [New] or containing a duplicate of the highlighted Register Definition. First, use the fields at the top of the window to name and identify the register, as follows:
