Windows Shortcuts and Basic ConceptsSaving Data- When you add or change information in the CBPF, it is saved as soon as you navigate to a different record. For example, when adding a new customer you can enter the customer name and personal information and the data is not saved until you navigate to a different customer. It works the same way if you change data such as updating a phone number. When on the 'Diamond All' form or the 'Items ordered' tab of the customer form, this is known as datasheet view which looks much like a spreadsheet. Whenever you see this type of display, a record is defined as one row. So, to save a new item ordered to your hard drive, once you have typed in the item code, move your cursor up to the previous row, or press the 'New Record' button at the bottom of the form to add another item code to order, thus by moving off the previous record, the first item ordered is saved to the hard drive. Get in the habit of moving your cursor off the current record once you have completed your changes or if you are needed elsewhere for more than just a few minutes and you have made several changes to a single record. That way if there is a power outage, the record has been saved. |
