Chapter 3: Getting Started in APPX
Tool Bar
The APPX Tool Bar contains icons that are used to perform standard functions throughout your APPX session. These icons and their functions are:
OK or ENTER
When you enter or modify any items, select the OK or ENTER icon to complete your action, indicating that all items on the screen were entered. Alternatively, you can select the
button on the window or overlay's title bar, or you can press the ENTER or RETURN key on your keyboard.
CANCEL
The CANCEL option, activated by selecting the CANCEL icon, has a similar effect to the END option, but normally takes you further back in the processing cycle without saving any data entry you may have performed on the current screen. Where you return to depends on how the processes are designed in the application.
ADD
The ADD option allows you to add new records to an existing file.
CHANGE
The CHANGE option allows you to modify data for existing records.
INQUIRE
The INQUIRE option allows you to examine (but not modify) existing records in a file.
DELETE
The DELETE option allows you to delete existing records from a file.
ACKNOWLEDGE DELETE
This option acknowledges permission to delete the selected record from a file. A record selected for deletion is not actually deleted until such acknowledgement.
