Interface and Data Files
To add a record:
- If it is a ‘major’ record (like a Project, Company or Staff), click "New" on the gray menu bar at the top left of your screen. If it is a ‘minor’ record (like a Contact or expense report line item) click on the little “+” symbol which is usually in the upper right corner of the section where the new record is desired.
To delete a record:
- If it is a ‘major’ record (like a Project, Company or Staff), click "Delete" on the gray menu bar at the top left of your screen. If it is a ‘minor’ record (like a Contact or expense report line item) click on the "trashcan” symbol which is usually at the end of a record’s row. It is highly recommended that a backup is made prior to deleting because using these buttons is irreversible.
