1.  Action Buttons

This action button closes the form and returns to the previous menu

These action buttons will move through the records (first, previous, next, last)

2.  Pointers

The record pointer at the left below shows which item is selected when multiple records are shown. This is the item (High Walled Plate) that will be affected if you select an action button (edit, delete, etc)

You can move from the selected record to any other by clicking in the record pointer bar above or below the pointer

3.  Scroll Bar and record selector

a. When there are too many records to show all of them on the screen, then in addition to the pointer, there will also be several other navigation aides, the Scroll bar and the record selector

b. Using the scroll bar on the right edge of the screen, you can change which records are displayed

i.   Move the cursor to any point on the scroll bar

ii.   Press the left mouse button, and while holding the left mouse button down, drag the scroll bar up or down

iii.  The length of the scroll bar indicates the percentage of records that are being shown. In the example above the scroll bar covers about half the screen, so about half (15 of 39) the records are shown. If there were 100 records the scroll bar would be much shorter. Since the scroll bar is about half way down, about half the records not on the screen are before these records, and half after.

c. The record selector at the bottom left of the screen can also be used to change which records are showing, and which one is selected. Type in a record number, or use the buttons to go to the first, previous, next, or last.

4.  Delete button

a.  When deleting a Traycard (record of a resident), all the activity for that resident will be deleted. This action can not be undone. Therefore this action should be done with great care, but you can not accidentally do it. There are several double-checks you must pass before this action takes effect, including entering the delete password (tcdelete). There is a special delete button used for this action.

5.  When deleting an item on a setup screen, that item will be removed from the records of all residents. If you enter a new item, and immediately want to delete it, the regular delete action button will delete it. However, once the item has been used on a Traycard, you must first use the special delete button to remove the item from all resident records.
