Data entering and editing is usually the task of the user of the database application. The designer of the database should check the form in terms of valid
|
||
|
|
data entry, and see whether the form works as expected.

To test your form, switch to its data view. A single database row (record)
|
||
|
|
of data will be displayed and a text cursor will be set inside the first
|
||
|
|
data field. You can move between fields using the &LMB; or the <keycap>Tab</keycap> and
|
||
|
|
<keycombo action="simul"><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>Tab</keycap></keycombo>
|
||
|
|
keys. While editing, there will be a
|
||
|
|
<!--<img src="icons/button_tableview_editrow.png" class="icon">-->
|
||
|
|
pencil icon visible near the record navigator. After entering the row's (record)
|
||
|
|
data you can press the
|
||
|
|
<keycombo action="simul"><keycap>Shift</keycap><keycap>Enter</keycap></keycombo>
|
||
|
|
keys or click the
|
||
|
|
<!--<img src="icons/button_ok.png" class="icon">--><guibutton>OK</guibutton>
|
||
|
|
toolbar button to accept changes made to the current row. Clicking the
|
||
|
|
<!--<img src="icons/button_cancel.png" class="icon">--><guibutton>Cancel</guibutton>
|
||
|
|
toolbar button discards changes made to the current row and restores the contents of
|
||
|
|
the data fields. You can use the <!--<img src="icons/navigator_next.png" class="icon">-->
|
||
|
|
record navigator's button to move to a new row. All the navigator's functions are
|
||
|

also available in a similar way as in the data table view
