System Tool Bar
• Add Adds a new record to the database. Typically, records are added automatically when a file is read in from
the billing system so this function is rarely needed.
• Save Saves account information to the database for the record currently selected.
• Delete Removes the currently selected record from the database.
• Undo OTE:N Restores account information to the last saved entries.
Undo removes all information that has changed since you accessed the account record, not just
the latest change. Once you move away from a record, changes are saved automatically and
cannot be undone by choosing Undo.
• Record
Navigation
Move through records using the right and left navigation arrows. From left to right as shown below, the
arrows move the cursor to the first row, previous row, next row and last row. The number in the center
indicates the row of the currently selected record.
