Data Entry Toolbar

Located at the far-left of the toolbar, the data entry buttons control basic data entry and update functions in FIMS.

The New button is context sensitive – it creates a new record of the type displayed in the current window (for example, if you are on the Alternate Address tab, clicking this button creates a new alternate address).

Note: You also can create new records via the module-specific toolbar in each module.

Note: The Cancel button is disabled unless you are currently entering information for a new record.

Data Entry Toolbar

In order from left to right:

Button	Function
New	Adds a new record of the type displayed in the data window. Tip: You can also add a new record by pressing Alt+W on your keyboard.
Save	Saves changes to the new or modified record. Tip: You can also save your changes by pressing Alt+S on your keyboard.
Copy	Creates a new record that is a duplicate of the current record. Tip: This button does not copy information to the Windows clipboard.
Undo	Reverses any unsaved changes to the current record. Tip: You can also reverse your changes by pressing Alt+U on your keyboard.
Delete	Deletes the selected record from the database.
Cancel	Cancels the addition of a new record without saving changes. Note: This button is only available when you are entering information for a new record. If you want to cancel all unsaved changes to an existing record, click the Undo button. Tip: You can also cancel the new record by pressing Alt+A on your keyboard.
