Add or Modify Items

From the dictionary tree:
  • Click on the ID item or record item you wish to add or modify.
  • Press Ctrl+A to add or Ctr+M to modify the item (alternatively, right-click on the item from the tree and make your choice from the popup menu).
  • Add/modify the item properties requested (when adding)/desired (if modifying).
  • When you are finished entering data items and wish to stop adding, press the Esc key.
There is no limit on the number of items you can add within a record. The item will always be added at the end of the record. After selecting an item in the tree, you can press Add Button to initiate add mode.
Press the Esc key to stop adding. You can also use undo if you added at the wrong place.
