Tool bar

The Tool bar contains buttons for commonly used menu commands. Which buttons are available in the Tool bar will depend on whether you are searching, adding a new record, displaying records or editing a record (see Screen modes for details).

Tip: If you place the cursor over a button in the Tool bar, a tool tip description of the button's action will display:

A greyed out button is unavailable because its function is not currently relevant (for instance, if no changes have been made to a record, the Save and Cancel buttons will be greyed out), or a user does not have access to that operation. Save and Cancel are currently unavailable in this image:
