Toolbar are used to provide quick navigation to functions. By clicking on the image, the toolbar function is executed.
The new button is for adding records. When the new button is pressed, the data on the screen is cleared preparing for the entry of new data. Some fields may become protected or disappear if entry to them is not allowed.
The save button is for saving added or updated information. As you type information, the data is not saved (or committed) until Save is clicked. If you enter information on a screen and switch to another screen, the data will remain on the screen ready for you when you return. However, any data you enter is not committed to the database until Save is clicked. Generally, on screen with multiple tabs, the Save function will only save data on that tab and not other tabs. Therefore, ensure that as you move from tab to tab you Save your data along the way.
This is a new feature that combines the New and Save button. When editing a record, if you wish to save the data as a new record, then clicking this function will accomplish that. Due to the nature of some screens, which require records to be added before other data is entered, this function is not available on all screens. Also, if you have a data error that requires correcting, the system will default the screens to behave as if New was clicked and you are entering data prior to saving.
On screens where one of several records are displayed (such as the golfer screen) you can navigate one record at a time. Using the Previous button, you will go backwards through the records one at a time. When you get to the first record, the next time you click the Previous button, the last record in the database will be displayed. Records are navigated in a predetermined sort sequence.
Complementary to the Previous button is the Next button. This navigates the records in a forward fashion. When is reaches the last record, pressing the Next button will display the first record.
Undo is for reversing changes made to records on the screen before they are committed to the database. When you click on the Undo button when adding a new record, the previous record is displayed. When undoing changes to an existing record, the record is redisplayed with the changes undone.
The Refresh Button, will update the content of the screen and all data elements that may have been changed on other screens. For example, if you were adding a player, then decided you needed a new country, after you went to the preferences screen to add the country, the system will attempt to add the country in the players pulldown list. Due to update latency in the database, the entry may not be present. Clicking the refresh button will query the database and update the country pulldown selections.
The Delete button is for removing records from the database. When Delete is selected the system will provide a confirmation dialogue. If you select Yes, the record will be deleted, if No, the record to be deleted is redisplayed.
These three functions are used similarly as with any other Windows application. Cut will cut text from any data entry field and store it on the clipboard. Copy does the same function, only it will leave a copy in the data entry field being copied from. Paste will take the data that was cut or copied and paste it into the new data field that the cursor now resides.
This will open the Find Contacts dialogue so that you can find any contact entered into the software.
The print function will be active on screens that have reports that correspond to the data on the screen. For example, on the Games Detail screen, the print button is active and pressing it will generate the Box Score of the currently displayed Game.
The Help button is used in order to show Screen sensitive help. This is help that shows how to use all the functions of a particular screen. You can also select Contents Help from the Menu Bar to display the Welcome Help screen and navigate to any help function required.
