Delete a Record

The user would do the same thing to bring up information on a certain item as in “Edit a record.” Once the record is found, the user would select the box “DEL?” to delete a specific record or records. Once “DEL?” is checked for a particular record, the user must click “Finish” to have the changes take effect. If the user selects “Cancel” the changes do not take effect and the record reverts to its original status. Also, once “Cancel” or “Finish” are selected, a dialog box will display asking the user to click “YES” or “NO” to reconfirm your choice.

Note
When a record is given a status of “DEL?” a dialog box will appear asking the user if they want to delete that record. It will also give the number of records the user has indicated to be deleted. “YES” or “NO” is then clicked in the dialog box to continue the transaction. This is given as a warning to make sure “DEL?” is not clicked accidentally for a particular record.
Tips
To exit any transaction without saving the changes or additions, click the "X" at the right top of the screen or double-click on the icon at the left top portion of the screen.
To move to the next field within the record, use the Tab key.
To print a screen, push the Print Screen button, open a Word document and paste. Then, print the Word document.
To request an action, such as Cancel, Clear, Finish, Return, OK or Exit, click the action button with the mouse.
Users receive a confirming message when a transaction is complete, such as "Record Added."
