Use the data navigator, mouse, or keyboard to work with records in the current grid.
Adding a record
1.Open the section and tab where you want to add data.
2.Click Insert (+) on the navigator or press Ins. Alternatively, press Down when positioned on the last record.
3.Enter the required values.
4.Move to another row or click Post on the navigator to save the record.
Copying a record
To create a record based on an existing one, select the source record and choose Edit > Copy record, or press Ctrl+V while the grid is not in field-editing mode. Adjust the copied values as needed.
Ctrl+V has two uses: when browsing records, it copies the current record; when editing a text field, it pastes clipboard text into that field.
Deleting a record
Select a record and click Delete on the navigator, or press Ctrl+Delete. Where supported, you can select several records and delete them together. Check the selection before deleting.
Editing values
Select a field and start typing to edit its value. You can also press F2 to edit the field or open its pick list, where available. In some fields, such as Qty, F2 toggles between special values.
Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move between fields. Press Enter to switch the current field between viewing and editing modes.
Some data grids do not support direct editing. In these grids, click Insert (+) on the navigator to add a new record or Edit to modify an existing record in a separate form.
Saving and cancelling changes
Changes are saved automatically when you leave the edited row. You can also save them immediately by clicking Post on the navigator.
To discard unsaved changes to the current record, click Cancel on the navigator before leaving the row. Esc exits field-editing mode.
Renumbering rows
Select Edit > Renumber rows to assign consecutive numbers from 1 to N to the # column in the current grid. You can sort the grid first to make the current row order permanent.
