Edit
The selections within the EDIT menu allow users to manipulate information within files, such as Accounts, Inventory, Suppliers, etc. The choices are:
ADD: (CTRL+INS) clicking on the ADD button within Edit allows a user to add a new record. For example, when the user is within the Accounts file, clicking ADD will allow for the addition of a new account.
DELETE: (CTRL+D) clicking on the DELETE button within Edit allows the user to delete an existing record.
**Note: there may be stipulations to deleting records. For example, within the Accounts file, an account must have a zero balance and have had a statement reset run to delete. Within the Inventory file, the parts must have a zero Quantity On Hand.
ALTER: (F9) clicking the ALTER button allows users to edit fields within a file dependent on security. Those fields that are un-editable (whether they are the key to the file or the edit function for the field is higher than the users security level) will display as grey boxes, while any fields that are editable are white.
SAVE: (CTRL-W) clicking the SAVE button allows users to save their work. Any fields that display in RED are required fields. If a user clicks the SAVE button within filing in all of the required fields, the screen will prompt the user to fill in the required information before leaving the page.
CANCEL: (F8) clicking the CANCEL button will cancel any changes a user made during an ALTER session without saving the changes.
UNDO: (CTRL-Z) clicking UNDO will revert back the changes from the last keystrokes a user entered.
