Each screen will have command buttons with the following labels and effects:
Save: This will permanently record the changed data to the database.
Save and Close: This will permanently record the changed data to the database. Additionally the active screen will be closed and the system will return to the previous screen.
Close: Data changes will be discarded and screen will be closed and the system will return to the previous screen. This does not apply to any data entered in a data grid. To discard data changes made to a data grid you will need to hit the “ESC” key while still editing the row. If you have left the row or control you will need to manually make the change back or delete the unwanted row.
In order to facilitate speedy data entry on some screens you will also find ADD buttons so you can continuously add customers, coaches, instructors, etc. The ADD buttons clear the screen and sets up the form for a new record. You must use the Save button to actually add the record.
Many of the forms contain “data grids”. These data grids resemble spreadsheets with multiple rows and columns. Each row represents a separate record in a table. Rows will be updated any time you move from one row to another row. To cancel an update press the ESC key and data will be returned to the values before you made a change..
· All dates must be entered in the mm/dd/yyyy format.
· You can skip entry of city and state by entering the zip code only. The system will determine the city and state for you. If the system is unable to determine the city and state from the Zip Code table it will prompt you to add the new zip code and it’s associated city and state to the Zip Code table.
· Drop down lists will automatically reposition you as you type. However, in most cases you must click on the entry to actually select it.
