The heading may read 'New', 'Inspect', 'Update' or 'Deleting', depending on the circumstance. All data entry to Hansa is made in windows of this type.A record window is opened when you open a specific record from a browse window by double-clicking, and when you create a new record. Below is the window that is opened when you double-click a row in the 'Invoices: Browse' window.
Use the Return, Tab or arrow keys to move from field to field. The Return key moves the cursor to the next editable field, while the arrow keys move to the next field, whether it can be changed or not. You can also use the mouse to click directly in a field to enter or change its data. When you click in a field, its contents will be highlighted, and the contents will be replaced as soon as you start typing. If you click twice in the same field, the insertion point will be placed at the point where you click, allowing you to enter or delete characters at that point. Some record windows, such as that in the illustration, are divided into two sections: the top half shows details of the parent record (in this case, an Invoice) and the lower half contains the individual items (or rows) that are listed on that Invoice. Sometimes a record window contains more information than can be shown on screen at once. If this is the case, there will be a series of tabs (marked 'Terms', 'Items', 'Currency', etc in the example of the Invoice illustrated above) which can be clicked to show further pages of data about the parent record. There may also be a series of flips (marked 'A', 'B', 'C', etc) which can be clicked to show more information for the rows. |
