Action Buttons
The functions of the control windows are as follows:
The Add and Remove tabs are present in all configuration windows. If there is no Copy
tab, it is because there is nothing to copy, or else all fields are required. If the Modify
tab is missing, the system does not support modification of the selected table.
Action Buttons
Also common to all configuration windows are three buttons: Apply, Cancel, and Close.
In any window, field titles can appear on the screen in blue, indicating required fields.
Failure to enter a required field can result in an error, or else the Apply button can be
disabled until all required fields contain entries.
After you click the Apply button, the system displays a message informing you if the
configuration operation was successful or if an error occurred.
Window Divisions
A number of configuration windows are divided into three areas: the search box, the list
box, and the display box. The procedure for using these areas is as follows:
1. Enter a search criterion in the search box and click the Search button to find all
entries in the table that match the criterion. A Clear button is also available to
erase the search fields if you make a typing error. Some fields are “comboboxes”:
an adjacent button with a downward-pointing arrow displays a pull-down menu
from which you can choose a search item; alternatively, you can type the entry in
the field.
You can use wild-card characters in search criteria. Entering an asterisk (*) or a
percent symbol (%) causes the search criterion to match any number of characters
in that area of the searched field.
Add Adds an entry to the selected table.
Copy Adds an entry to the selected table, speeding up the operation by
allowing you to search for and copy an existing entry and then make
minor changes in the copy, rather than creating the entire entry from the
beginning.
Modify Makes changes to an existing table entry (this option is available only for
certain fields; it is disabled where not appropriate).
Remove Removes an entry from the selected table.
Apply Performs the configuration operation you specify.
Cancel Discontinues a configuration operation, leaving tables unchanged, and
returns control to the default tab (Add).
Close Closes the control window.
