Toolbar Buttons
The user interface of the DataSplice Remote Client has numerous components. One of these components is the toolbar, which is composed of a series of buttons. The following is a brief explanation of these toolbar buttons.
Show View List- This button displays the list of views available to the user. Changes made to the view display or records while in a view are not affected by navigating to the view list. For example, a user has set a view to sort in descending order and then navigates off the view. When the user returns to the view, the sort will appear as the user left it.
Toggle Display- This button switches the view between grid display and vertical display for the current view. Grid mode displays multiple records at one time. Records are displayed horizontally, one record per line. Grid mode is especially useful while searching through records. Vertical mode displays one record at a time. Field names are displayed in a column on the left side of the screen. The corresponding values are displayed on the right. Vertical mode is optimal for editing records.
Back- This button navigates the user through previous views. This is similar to using the Back button in a web browser.
Next- This button displays the next record(s). When in vertical display mode, clicking this button will take you to the next record in the current set. When in grid display mode, clicking this button will show you the next set of records.
Previous- This button displays the previous record(s). When in vertical display mode, clicking this button will take you to the previous record in the current set. When in grid display mode, clicking this button will show you the previous set of records.
New Record- This button creates a new record in the designated view. The new record may be blank, may have some fields populated with default values, or may have all values from an originating record duplicated.
Delete Record- This button removes the selected record permanently.Note: Items deleted are not sent to the Recycle Bin, and the Delete command cannot be reversed.
Commit Changes- This button saves all record modifications. Records are committed in the order in which they are modified. To view the list of modifications, select Modification History from the View menu.
Search- This button retrieves specified records. Filter fields define the criteria upon which the records will be searched.
