There are five standard buttons that are components of a standard form.

• Save and Close attempts to save the form information to the database.
  • If the “save” process is successful, a “success” message is displayed, the form page is closed, and the user is returned to the Versago home page.
• Save and New attempts to save the form information to the database.
  • If the “save” process is successful, a “success” message is displayed, the form page is cleared of information, any default values are applied, and the page remains open for entry of new information.
• Save attempts to save the form information to the database.
  • If the “save” process is successful a “success” message is displayed and the form page remains open for entry of additional information.
• Delete attempts to remove an existing record.
  • The target record must be retrieved before the delete option can be used. This can be done by linking to the form from a report or by using the Control Events functionality on primary key field of the form.
  • The user is asked to confirm the deletion.
  • If the “delete” process is successful a “success” message is displayed.
• Cancel clears any information currently displayed in the form and the form remains open for entry of new information.
  • The user is asked to confirm the cancellation if any information is found on the form.

Some actions of standard form buttons can be controlled using special options. In all cases the options are accessed by clicking on the configuration (gear) icon on the desired button.

This option is found on the “Control Settings” tab when the button configuration is opened.

When this option is selected, pressing the <Enter> key on a keyboard will be interpreted as having clicked the button. This option is especially helpful when using barcode scanners that can automatically send a <CR><LF> sequence. It then allows for “keyboard free” data entry.

This option is only available on buttons that perform a “Save” action.

These options are accessed by clicking the [Action] button on the “Control Settings” tab described above.
