Action buttons

Most SunSystems forms contain buttons which allow you to perform simple tasks by clicking the buttons on the form. The most common of these buttons are OK and Cancel, which you can use to save or abandon changes.

Many static data setup forms include the following actions buttons:

Button Description
OK Confirms an action.
Cancel Cancels an action.
Clear Screen Removes all the information from the current form.
Amend Allows you to amend a record.
Insert Allows you to create a new record
Note: After you have inserted a new record in a static data setup form it is advisable to select one of the following from the Actions menu: First, Last or Clear Screen. If you do not do this you may find that your records are out of Sequence when using the navigation buttons or the Query button.
Delete Deletes the currently displayed or selected record.
Exit Closes the form and returns to the SunSystems menu panel.

There are many additional predefined action buttons which are function dependent. Form Designer allows you to choose which action buttons you would like to have on a form. Form Designer is available in the SunSystems Windows client only.
